[SOLVED] GNU find in a QProcess - exec parameter doesn't work
-
I'm running GNU find in a QProcess which works just fine.
Nevertheless, when I try to combine it with grep, it does not execute at all.The QProcess is started with
@process->start(findpattern.replace("~",QDir::home().absolutePath()), QProcess::Unbuffered | QProcess::ReadWrite);@
When findpattern is e.g.
@find "~/Downloads" -name "*.cpp"@
this works just fine. But for e.g. finding all cpp files that contain "else"
@find "~/Downloads" -name "*.cpp" -exec grep -l "else" {} ;@
it fails
What am I doing wrong?
-
replacing the backslash with a plus,
containingTextString = QString("-exec grep -l "").append(arg1).append("" {} +;");
works.
