I just noticed that if I do: echo "this \" is \" a \"test" The output has: ("echo", "this \" is \" a \"test")
Hi Steven,This is a Qt printing artifact. The printout is trying to show clearly that this list contain only 2 strings. That is why it adds those backslashes. In the code of the example, try adding this:
if (ok) { argList = KsUtils::splitArguments(text); qInfo() << argList; + for (auto a: argList) + cout << a.toStdString() << endl; proc.setProgram(argList.takeFirst()); proc.setArguments(argList); and you will see what I mean. Thanks a lot for being a tester!!! Yordan
We don't want to keep the backslash here. We want to remove it before passing it as an argument. The above should be: ("echo", "this " is " a "test") (thinking that you put in the outside quotes. In other words, if I have: echo "hello \"there\"" We should break that up into: arg0=echo arg1=hello "there" -- Steve
