[SOLVED] QRegExp : remove last character and get path

[Raphyy]

Hi,

Pretty much everything is in the title. I'm losing my mind with QRegExp : I tried so many things that I don't know what should I do to solve this.

I want to do two things:

1 - Remove a specific character "}" but only when it is at the end of the QStringList. I tried stuff like : @list.replaceInStrings("}$", "");@

2 - Get the path from a QStringList like "C:\Users\Doe\Desktop\Aaaah.txt" without the filename.

Thanks for your help !

Hi,

bq. 1 – Remove a specific character “}” but only when it is at the end of the QStringList. I tried stuff like :
list.replaceInStrings("}$", "");

You can get last item of the QStringList and check if it is “}” and then remove it from QStringList.

bq. 2 – Get the path from a QStringList like “C:\Users\Doe\Desktop\Aaaah.txt” without the filename.

Try

@QString path = "C:\Users\Doe\Desktop\Aaaah.txt";

qDebug() << path.section("\",0,-2);

Thanks for your answer !

Yes I could do that, but I don't want to check every element one by one. There must be a nice solution using QRegExp !?

Your solution for the path is perfect !

Ok, Just misunderstood your first question.

Try this,
@list = list.replaceInStrings(QRegExp("[}]$"),QString(""));@
You need to include it in square brackets.

Nop, it doesn't work, nice try though !
