macOS - QString doesn't perform properly

[artwaw]

Hi,
I have a bit of an issue with QString - its split() and section() methods always return empty QStringList() ro QString(). Same code ported to Windows works.
Any hints please?

Edit - code sample:

 QString formatter2=settings.value("archivedLabels").toString().section('_',0);

or

 QString formatter2=settings.value("archivedLabels").toString().split('_').at(0);

I also tried to replace QString formatter2 with QStringList() making this

QStringList temp=settings.value("archivedLabels").toString().split('_');

and got empty QStringList.

@artwaw can't confirm that, you'll have to show us the code, that you're using

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);

    QString testString("RM_dd-MM-yyyy");

    QStringList splittedList1 = testString.split(QChar('-'));
    QStringList splittedList2 = testString.split(QChar('_'));

    QString section1 = testString.section(QChar('-'), 0,0);
    QString section2 = testString.section(QChar('-'), 1,1);

    qDebug() << splittedList1 << endl
             << splittedList2 << endl
             << section1 << section2;

    return  a.exec();
}

results in:

@artwaw
can you provide an example string?

@J-Hilk Then it must be me or something in my setup. Thank you!
