The following works for me:

#include <QDebug>
#include <QRegExp>

int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
    QString s( "--STRING" );
    
    QRegExp rx1( "^(--\\s*STRING)$" );
    if ( rx1.indexIn( s ) != -1 )
    {
        qDebug() << "The regexp" << rx1.pattern() << "matches";
        qDebug() << "The captured text is" << rx1.cap( 1 );
    }
    else
    {
        qDebug() << "The regexp" << rx1.pattern() << "did not match";
    }
}

I get the following output:

The regexp "^(--\s*STRING)$" matches
The captured text is "--STRING"

How are you using QRegExp?
