[Qt-interest] Comparing two StringLists

[Ian Thomson]

Hi,

If you have STL compatability, use std::set_symmetric_difference which 
does what you want. It requires that the lists are sorted, which you can 
either do by ensuring they are sorted as you create/maintain them, or by 
calling QStringList::sort() beforehand which uses qSort, one of qt's 
generic algorithms.

Cheers,
Ian.
