[SOLVED] GNU find in a QProcess - exec parameter doesn't work

[sirius79]

I'm running GNU find in a QProcess which works just fine.
Nevertheless, when I try to combine it with grep, it does not execute at all.

The QProcess is started with

@process->start(findpattern.replace("~",QDir::home().absolutePath()), QProcess::Unbuffered | QProcess::ReadWrite);@

When findpattern is e.g.

@find "~/Downloads" -name "*.cpp"@

this works just fine. But for e.g. finding all cpp files that contain "else"

@find "~/Downloads" -name "*.cpp" -exec grep -l "else" {} ;@

it fails

What am I doing wrong?

replacing the backslash with a plus,

containingTextString = QString("-exec grep -l "").append(arg1).append("" {} +;");

works.
