qt get hexa value from qstring

To get the hexadecimal value from a QString in C++ with the Qt library, you can use the QString::toInt() function with a base of 16. Here are the steps to accomplish this:

  1. Convert QString to QStringRef: The QStringRef class provides a lightweight reference to a substring of a QString. To convert a QString to QStringRef, you can use the QString::midRef() function. This function returns a reference to a substring of the original QString without making a copy.

  2. Convert QStringRef to QString: Although QStringRef provides a lightweight reference, it does not have a direct method to convert it to a hexadecimal value. To overcome this, you can convert the QStringRef back to a QString using the QStringRef::toString() function.

  3. Convert QString to hexadecimal integer: Once you have the QString representation, you can use the QString::toInt() function to convert it to an integer. By specifying a base of 16 (hexadecimal), the function will interpret the string as a hexadecimal value and return the corresponding integer.

Here is an example that illustrates these steps:

#include <QString>

QString hexString = "FF"; // Example hexadecimal string

QStringRef hexStringRef = hexString.midRef(0); // Step 1

QString hexValueString = hexStringRef.toString(); // Step 2

bool ok;
int hexValue = hexValueString.toInt(&ok, 16); // Step 3

if (ok) {
    // Hexadecimal value successfully converted to an integer
    // Use the hexValue variable for further processing
} else {
    // Conversion failed
}

In this example, the hexString variable represents the hexadecimal value you want to convert. The hexValue variable will store the resulting integer value. The toInt() function returns a boolean value (ok) to indicate whether the conversion was successful or not.

Remember to include the necessary headers (#include <QString>) and ensure that you have the Qt library properly set up in your project.
