QStringList::contains() not behaving as expected

[JPNaude]

Hi

I have a problem with QStringList::contains() where it does not return the correct value. I honestly don't believe that there will be a bug in this function, thus I can't understand what is going wrong. I do the following:

// Check uniqueness of name:
Qt::CaseSensitivity case_sensitivity = Qt::CaseSensitive;
QStringList string_list = observer->subjectNames();
qDebug() << "string_list: " << string_list;
qDebug() << "Validate against: " << name << " using " << case_sensitivity;
if (string_list.contains(name,case_sensitivity)) {
    result |= Duplicate;
    qDebug() << "This is a duplicate";
}

// Check uniqueness of name:
Qt::CaseSensitivity case_sensitivity = Qt::CaseSensitive;
QStringList string_list = observer->subjectNames();
qDebug() << "string_list: " << string_list;
qDebug() << "Validate against: " << name << " using " << case_sensitivity;
if (string_list.contains(name,case_sensitivity)) {
    result |= Duplicate;
    qDebug() << "This is a duplicate";
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

It prints out the following:

string_list:  ("D:\Work\Firmware\FirmwareDesigns\DAC_1X_TOP\Supporting Items\Associated Folders\DOCS") 
Validate against:  "D:\Work\Firmware\FirmwareDesigns\DAC_1X_TOP\Supporting Items\Associated Folders\Docs"  using  1

string_list:  ("D:\Work\Firmware\FirmwareDesigns\DAC_1X_TOP\Supporting Items\Associated Folders\DOCS") 
Validate against:  "D:\Work\Firmware\FirmwareDesigns\DAC_1X_TOP\Supporting Items\Associated Folders\Docs"  using  1

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

contains() should return true, however it does not and I never get the "This is a duplicate" printed out.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Jaco

You are doing a case sensitive search and the case of Docs doesn't match, one is Docs the other is DOCS.
