[Qt-interest] Problem with qregexpr

[Alexandre Beraud]

Hi,

Well, if you write this:

QString myString = "--DUMMY";
QRegExp re("--\\s*STRING");

Then re.exactMatch(myString)) should never return true. Is that what 
your code looks like ? The hyphen (-) has no special meaning outside of 
a character class, afaik.

Regards,

Alex
