QString::replace difference in behavior

[freeman_w]

Thanks for the answer d_stranz.

I don't want to make any change to the code because Qt4 under Windows DOES work as intended and also Qt5 under Linux. And I am not making anything fancy there. Just using the "QString::replace()" function and I expect it to behave like the documentation writes.
I just want to understand why Qt5-Windows behaves differently. Any clues?

BTW, the source file is ALWAYS in UTF8 (will add this to the first post, forgot about that).

Try converting your strings to Latin1 or utf-8 before doing the replace on the resulting QByteArray. Don't know if this will help. Character conversions and codepage issues can be very tricky.
