Split QString with multi-character separator: Strange behavior

[Asperamanca]

I have an input string like this:
"RelationID";"FilePath";"ContentType"
and would like to split it into three items:

• RelationID
• FilePath
• ContentType

I first remove the leading an trailing double quote and then do:
myStringList = myString.split(""";""");

The actual output looks like this:

• RelationID"
• "FilePath"
• "ContentType

(note the extra double quotes).

I thought the separator parts are removed on split. Any ideas?

Did you try with:

myStringList = myString.split("\";\"");

This:

""";"""

actually means: empty string + ";" + empty string
