How to code " in QT Regular Expression?

[Subuday]

I have a text * "POST /test/123 HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost:1234\r\nContent-Type: text/plain\r\nContent-Length: 24\r\nConnection: Keep-Alive\r\nAccept-Encoding: gzip, deflate\r\nAccept-Language: en-US,*\r\nUser-Agent: Mozilla/5.0\r\n\r\nMyBody" *

I need to get MyBody text.

I can't figure out how to code " because this doesn't work.

     QString test = "\\r\\n\\r\\MyBody\"";

    QRegularExpression bodyRegExp("\\r\\n\\r\\n(.*?)\"");
    QRegularExpressionMatch matchBody = bodyRegExp.match(test);

    qDebug() << matchBody;

@Subuday said in How to code " in QT Regular Expression?:

QRegularExpression bodyRegExp("\r\n\r\n(.*?)"");

IIRC, your RE must match THE WHOLE STRING to be valid ... IOW ".*\r\n\r\n(.*?)""

@Kent-Dorfman Sorry what do you mean?

I have a text

Are you 100% sure the " are in the text and it's not just how it's displayed?

@VRonin QString
Yes, I am sure and I try this example

QString test = "\\r\\n\\r\\MyBody\"";

[fcarney]

    QString hworld("Hello World"); // there are no quotes in this string
    qDebug() << hworld; // shows quotes
    qDebug().noquote() << hworld; // shows no quotes

You should consider dividing your string up to more bite sized chunks:
split

@Subuday I think your test string should be:

QString test = "\r\n\r\\MyBody\"";

You have to double escape backslash only in your regular expression.
I suggest that you test your regular expression in a regex tester, like https://regex101.com, and then when it works, import it in your code. Otherwise it could be a nightmare to find the correct one.
