    if you do not care about the order of the list:
    Qt Code:
    1. QStringList sl = ...;
    2. sl = sl.toSet().toList();
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Maybe there are more efficient ways to do that.

    Or you could do
    Qt Code:
    1. for (int i=0; i<sl.count(); ++i)
    2. {
    3. forever { // remove all occurrences at greater indexes
    4. int p=sl.lastIndexOf(sl.at[i]);
    5. if (p==i) break;
    6. sl.removeAt(p);
    7. }
    8. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    Untested, of course. Have, fun!
