Remove string from QStringList with higher number

[Ayush Gupta]

I have some elements in QString List as below

Test_String1-1
Test_String2-2
Test_String1-2
Test_String1-3
Test_String2-10
Test_String3-1
Test_String4-1
Test_String3-3

I need to remove all the string with lower end number for example only string with name
Test_String1-<number> with highesht number should be in list and rest other lower number should be removed

so output should be in QStringList should contain only below elements

Test_String1-3
Test_String2-10
Test_String3-3
Test_String4-1

Please suggest how to do this

Is this a coding issue or are you looking for an algorithm, which will filter your QStringList?

If all your strings have this structure (one number before and one number after a '-'), you can separate the strings and compare each 'group' to get the highest final digit of e.g. String3 - group.
