    Ah ok, yes if they can come out of order then same separator is not a option.

    -Each potentiometer can send 1 to 4 digits
    so maybe there comes 1 byte or maybe 4 ?

    @mrjj Indeed. And so if I try ".append" I will have a huge disorder in datas ...
    I'm still trying to figure out a way to get everything in order but nothing work fine yet

      but how does the potentiometer send its data ?
      you have no control over the format?

        @mrjj The potentiometer send its data via Arduino. I can write how I want to send it. First I tried with "," to separate, but I could'nt reconize wich data was what. So I tried with a specific letter before and after each potentiometer value. In this case it is really hard for me to extract the potentiometer value from the line (from serial) because I only know the "split" technic

          Mix both techniques: an ID to know what kind of data you have and the "special" char to know where to split.

            @SGaist Yes I think that is my best move, that's what I'm currently trying to do.
            But I have a last problem: how can I try the existence of a string from QstringList ? For example I need to know if after spliting "buffer_split[1]" exist ?

              You can use a while loop and take the first element at each iteration so no need for a particular check.

                also QstringList has a size() that tells the number of elements. (strings)
                That also gives hints to valid index.

                  @SGaist @mrjj Thank you for that, I managed to split correctly and find the right data.
                  But I am still able to do that only on debug mode, when I try to run the program it's like i'm going too fast and my "->ReadAll()" don't gather enought data. (I saw that with some qDebug()).
                  So I go back to my first problem, if I use a while loop with "append" I will mix the data.
                  Can't I use "waitForReadyRead()" ?
