QString.contains() not entirely specific
-
Hi, so I'm making a checking system if something is twice in a file (there is something written in the file, and when I'm inputing something, it checkes if it's there), but it's not entirely specific.
When I put in a character thats already in the file, it says that it's there (which is supposed to do), but I want to check the whole word, or sentence character by character.
Is it possible, or not? -
Hi,
What do you mean by checking if it contains a sentence character by character ?
You can search text for chars, words, group of words.

Hi @SGaist, I mean that I need to check every character. Lets say you have "A quick red fox jumped over a lazy dog." And you need to check, if its the same, but when I type in "f", it realises that it's in the file, and prints true, which I don't want.
So, when I have "Ahdeofesl" (just typed something random on my keyboard) in the file, I need to check, if it's the same.This might sound confusing, but when you mentioned "a group of words", that might work for me.

Can you explain the workflow ?

If you want to test if two strings are equal then you can just use operator ==.
If you want to compare character by character for some reason then you can access individual characters using
QString::at()or aQString::iteratorwith a loop and then compare QChars with operator ==. -
