I am programming a tool in Qt in which I want to write binary data into a file. Everything works fine except when I am trying to write the decimal value '10' (0000 1010 in binary) into the file. in this case I get an additional byte with the value '0000 1101' in front of the other byte. It doesn't matter how much data I write in the file, as soon as I write a 10 I get another byte.
I broke it down to the following code:
#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QFile>
#include <iostream>
#include <QString>
#include <QDataStream>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
QString SavePath;
SavePath = qApp->applicationDirPath();
SavePath.append("/test.bin");
QFile file(SavePath.toLocal8Bit().constData());
if (file.exists())
file.remove();
if (!file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly | QIODevice::Text))
{
std::cout << "Kann Datei zum Speichern der TP-Daten nicht erstellen." << std::endl;
std::cout << SavePath.toLocal8Bit().constData() << std::endl;
return -1;
}
QDataStream out(&file);
out.setVersion(QDataStream::Qt_4_3);
out.setByteOrder(QDataStream::LittleEndian);
out << qint32(10);
int test=10;
out.writeRawData((char*)&test,4 );
file.write((char*)&test);
return 1;
}
The output in my file is:
0d 0a 00 00 00 0d 0a 00 00 00 0d 0a
the three 0x0d bytes are unwanted. I don't get them while writing a '9' or an '11' to the file. I am running out of ideas. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
If you want binary file, remove QIODevice::Text flag, dude. Otherwise it add CR(0x0D) symbol to LF(0x0A) symbol in Windows.
