Replace value in QByteArray & QDataStream
Hi experts,
I'm trying without success to replace some values in a byte array or in a data stream in QT 4.7
Here's my situation:
I have a binary file with data. Each two bytes of this file represent a signed integer value. I need to replace all the integer values which are 0 with 22 and save the file with the new values.
Any ideas how to proceed ?
Thanks,
Peter

Opps... that should have been something like
f.Write( &v22, 2 )
and you might have to type case the pointers to get something like this to properly compile.
f.Write( &v22, 2 )

Sorry, I haven't explained very clear what I want to do here...
The file which is saved is not the same file (the source file). I need to move all the data from the source file to a QByteArray and in the process change the 0 values to 22. Then, I need to compress this byte array with qCompress and only then write it to a newly created file.
So, my problem is that I have to move the data from the source file to the byte array and change to zeros...
All the best,
Peter

you could read the file using std::ifstream in binary mode:
std::ifstream infile("xxx.dat", std::ios_base::in | std::ios_base::binary);
qint16 q16;
while (infile.read((char*)(&q16)
{
}
note the qint16 should be 2 bytes what i have taken for granted.
the in loop you could check on 0 and replace by 22. then add to QByteArray
QByteArray qarr;
...
if (q16 == 0)
q16 = 22;
qarr.append((char*)(&q16),
note, the QByteArray would get binary data that way, same as in the file. if you need hexstring conversion you mast do a conversion first.

CFile f;
f.Open( strFileName, CFile::modeRead | CFile::modeWrite );
DWORD i;
const DWORD v22 = 22;
while( f.Read( &i, 2 ) == 2 )
{
if( i == 0 )
{
f.Seek( -2, CFile::current );
f.Write( &v22 );
}
}
If there is an issue with byte order, then you just need to replace v22=22 with v22=0x1600;
