How do I create QRegExp?

[lni]

Hi
I have a list of string separated by comman, such as

"b01350,b01351,b01352,b01353,b01354,b01355,b01356, b01357,b01358,b01359
b01360,b01361,b01362,b01363,b01364,b01365,b01366,b 01367,b01368,b01369
b01370,b01371,b01372,b01373,b01374,b01375,b01376,b 01377,b01378,b01379
b01380,b01381,b01382,b01383,b01384,b01385,b01386,b 01387,b01388,b01389
b01390,b01391,b01392,b01393,b01394,b01395,b01396,b 01397,b01398,b01399"


I would like to convert the list using QRegExp so it become "b013[5-9][0-9]"

How do I do it?

Thanks

QStringList items = str.split(",").filter(QRegExp("b013[5-9][0-9]"));

QStringList items = str.split(",").filter(QRegExp("b013[5-9][0-9]"));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Actual, I need the filter expression...

that is, I need to shorten the long list into an expression, such as "b013[5-9][0-9]", not the other way around...

"^b013[5-9]\d$" or "b013[5-9]\d"
it depends on your filter purpose.

Do you mean that you want to dynamically detect what's in the list and create as strict regular expression as possible based on the list contents?

Yes, that is exactly what I am looking for...

That would be an AI question !! u can search for pattern matching algorithms,
I dont think it will be easy to do in good time
