[SOLVED] QRegExp doesn't match strings

[Magnum]

Hello:

I want a regular expression able to catch strings that start with a pair of repeated letters so I wrote the following:

@QRegExp beginWithPair("^(\w)\1+");@

As far as I know It should match this string:

bq. aaarfads

and It doesn't.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi,

What output do you expect ? And what do you get ?

When I use

@QRegExp::exactMatch ( const QString & str ) const@

I always get false.

I tried here and It worked:

Have a look at the documentation of exactMatch. Your string doesn't match exactly your regexp. If it was "aa" it would.

You should rather use indexIn

You're right.

Thank you.
