    Default QString::replace() with QRegExp capture modification

    Hi,

    I want to capitalize all letters in an <b> tag (and remove the tag):

    Qt Code:
    1. QRegExp rx("\\<b\\>(.*)\\</b\\>");
    2. rx.setMinimal(true);
    3. str.replace(rx, QString("\\1").toUpper());
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    but '\\1' is unfortunately replaced after the toUpper()
    So, how can I achieve to upper case the letters in a tag?



    Thanks,

    Lykurg

    Qt Code:
    1. QRegExp rx("....");
    2. rx.setMinimal(true);
    3. int s = -1;
    4. while((s = rx.indexIn(str, s+1))>=0){
    5. str.replace(s, rx.cap(0).length(), rx.cap(1).toUpper());
    6. s+= rx.cap(1).length();
    7. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
