Hello;

I want to convert a Base64 String to UTF-8

my code is :

QByteArray text2 = QByteArray::fromBase64("UmV0dXJuIG1lc3NhZ2Ugw6nDpA==");
QString  textok = text2;
qWarning() <<"le message: " <<textok.toUtf8();

 I get : "Return message éä"

but I would get : "Return message éä"

[soaman]

QString x(text2); // create qstring from qbytearray
cout << x.toUtf8().constData() << endl; // output as UTF-8

thank you for the reply , I tried and I found

"Return message éä" 

hat which is not the result hoped

Are you getting console messages:

'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 15-18: ordinal not in range(128)

What characters are you expecting to see?

Did you resolve your issue?

no I have not solved the problem

the character are expected:

"Return message éä"

Did some playing, with code somewhat like below.

QByteArray::fromBase64 doesn't do anything in the way of error checking.  I think it's running off the end of the input string.

What string are you trying to encode into base64?  Try explicitly encoding it and see what you get:

            QByteArray b5("Return message ");
            qDebug() << b5.toBase64();

=======================

            //QByteArray b1("UmV0dXJuIG1lc3NhZ2Ugw6nDpA");
            QByteArray b1("UmV0dXJuIG1lc3NhZ2U=");
            qDebug() << "b1: " << b1.length() << " " << b1;
            QByteArray b2 = QByteArray::fromBase64(b1);
            qDebug() << "b2: " << b2.length() << " " << b2;
            QString s1 = b2;
            qDebug() << "s1: " << s1.length() << " " << s1;
            qDebug() << "s1data" << *s1.data();

            QByteArray b3("UmV0dXJuIG");
            qDebug() << "b3: " << b3.length() << " " << b3;
            QByteArray b4 = QByteArray::fromBase64(b3);
            qDebug() << "b4: " << b4.length() << " " << b4;
            QString s2 = b4;
            qDebug() << "s2: " << s2.length() << " " << s2;
            qDebug() << "s2data" << *s2.data();

            QByteArray text = QByteArray::fromBase64("UXQgaXMgZ3JlYXQh");
            qDebug() << text.data();            // returns "Qt is great!"

            QByteArray b5("Return message ");
            qDebug() << b5.toBase64();

Did this lead to a solution?
