[Solved] Stripping double quotes from string

situ117

Hi,

If I try to call toString() method on any object in QML, it's string representation is always enclosed in escaped double quotes. For e.g.

calling toString() on a url object gave me:

"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India_(disambiguation)"

Why is it like this ? Does QML have any function to strip these surrounding escaped double quotes ? Actually I was doing some string processing using Javascript and having these double quotes is strange.

Could you paste an example showing the problem?

The following seems to output the correct string and length for me (doesn't include the escaped double quotes)
@
import QtQuick 1.0

Rectangle {
width: 400; height: 400

property url myProp: "index.qml"

Component.onCompleted: console.log(myProp + " " + myProp.toString().length)

}
@

Does it work correctly for you?

Regards,
Michael

Hi,

Ok, it's not a problem with QML. I was trying to catch linkClicked(QUrl) signal from QWebView in C++, and pass them to QML. By default QUrl encloses urls in double quotes while converting them to strings ( when I call toString() ).

Thanks for your reply !!!
