[Solved] Getting a bit crazy with QRegExp

[Asperamanca]

I am looking for a way to extract strings enclosed by "<" and ">", as well as strings enclosed by double quotation marks.

Combine QRegExp and what C++ does to literal strings, and I'm getting a bit crazy here.

What certifiably doesn't work is:
@([<])(*)([>])
or
<[>]@

for strings enclosed in "<" and ">", as well as

@(["])(*)(["])
or
"["]@

for strings enclosed in double quotation marks.

Where do I go wrong?

your regexp is just wrong. Do this to capture the text:
@
QRegExp re("<(.)>");
re.setMinimal(true); //this is important
@
Note: "" doesn''t stand for "abitrary charcater" but for "0 or more occurrences"

Thank you for saving my sanity!
