    Default Recover a QString with QRegExp

    I want to recover a QString between brakets.

    For example i have "Cos([Temperature1]*25)+58" and i want recover just "[Temperature1]*25" ,

    can i do it with a QRegExp or is there a best way?

    Thanks!

    Yes, you can do it with a regular expression.

    The following regexp should match your case:
    Qt Code:
    1. QRegExp(".*\(([^)]*\).*");
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.

    i tried it but it doesn't work

    i tried this :
    Qt Code:
    1. QString formule = "Cos([Temperature1]*25)+58" ;
    2. QStringList listMul;
    3. QRegExp regExp ("(\[(.*?)\])");
    4. listMul = formule.split(regExp);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    and i find in the list Cos, [Temperature1] , 25 and +58 but when i changed * by + i find Cos, [Temperature1]+25 and +58.

    I want the same thing with * : Cos, [Temperature1]*25 and +58.

    You can also use indexOf() to search for the opening parenthese, then indexOf with that start index to search for the closing parentheses and then use QString::mid() to get the part that is of interest to you.

    Cheers,

    Wysota's suggestion is not quite right but it really doesn't matter because what you asked for was not what you wanted anyway.

    You actually wanted to split the expression into tokens. This a non-trivial exercise in general cases, but for your specific case this works:
    Qt Code:
    1. QString formule = "Cos([Temperature1]*25)+58" ;
    2.  
    3. // The incredibly simple
    4. QStringList list = formule.split(QRegExp("[()]"));
    5. qDebug() << list;
    6.  
    7. // or the more involved but more flexible
    8. list.clear();
    9. const QRegExp re("[^()]+");
    10. int pos = 0;
    11. while ((pos = re.indexIn(formule, pos)) != -1) {
    12. list << re.cap(0);
    13. pos += re.matchedLength();
    14. };
    15. qDebug() << list;
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
