    Exclamation QByteArray can't read all the data provided

    I am inserting a HEX code in the QByteArray variable,
    That hex isn't for a normal txt file, it's for an EXECUTABLE one, so it contains binary information

    Qt Code:
    1. QByteArray hex = "fff0000b800000000000000400"; // Very long hex string
    2. hex = QByteArray::fromHex(hex);
    3. hex = hex.data();
    4. int hexx = hex.size(); // outputs "3" while the real size is about 486400 byte
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    also when I output the result it only shows "MZ" and these are the first two characters of the .exe when opend with notpad.
    and th rest characters are ASCII and unknown ones.

    I need your help to complete this task.
    Reason: I want to inject a binary data converted from hex into another process using QProcess.
    Thanx.

    First remember that QByteArray::data returns char pointer i.e. the pointer to NULL terminated string and so it is used.
    Second QByteArray::data says The pointer remains valid as long as the byte array isn't reallocated or destroyed. I think that line 3 is pointless.

  3. The following user says thank you to Lesiok for this useful post:

    Okay, I deleted the line 3.

    I used QFile to write the data directly to an executable file.

    Successfully I executed the program. I gave you a thanx for that.

    But the main issue is using QProcess to execute this binary without writing it in external file.

    I will make another thread for that, and keep this one for the people wwho had the same issue.

    Thank you.
