[Interest] format of QString

[sarah jones]

Hi
I have tried this regular expression -

QRegularExpression expression("^[cfmt]_\\d\\d\\d\\d\\d\\d\\.rcd$");
    
if (expression.match(receivedFilename).hasMatch());

this finds a match for m_000006.rcd

but unfortunately it also matches m_0000006.rcd

and I cannot figure out why
I have tried this in some of the online regular expression tools and it seems to work there
What have I got wrong?

Thanks

Sarah
