Carriage Return in QString

[incapacitant]

I have a QTextEdit that contains a carriage return.
I convert to QString :

Message = qMessage->toPlainText();

Message = qMessage->toPlainText();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Then I am unable to remove the carriage return from the QString and replace it with a space character.

I tried :
- to split the string with regexp "\r"
- the stupid

for ( int i = 0; i < Message.size(); i++ ) 
  if ( ( Message[i] == QChar(10) ) &&  ( Message[i+1] == QChar(13) ) ) {
    Message[i] = ' ';
    Message[i+1] = ' ';
 }

for ( int i = 0; i < Message.size(); i++ ) 
  if ( ( Message[i] == QChar(10) ) &&  ( Message[i+1] == QChar(13) ) ) {
    Message[i] = ' ';
    Message[i+1] = ' ';
 }

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

- Message.replace("\r"," ");
- Message.replace(QRegExp("\r"), " "); even with "0x0D"

All fails.

At the end of the modification I copy back my QString to a QTextEdit to display the result and the carriage return is still there. No way to remove it.

Try searching for '\n'.

Of course it works, jacek is not expert but god.

It may be worth detecting the sequence CR,LF as well.

Ehm, the thread is 4 (in letters four) years old! But anyway, whats the goal by defining myNewLine? On windows there might be also files which only use new line character. And QTextEdit transforms the different line breakings to "\n", so no need to distinguish.

Line 5 has the characters the wrong way around also.

Hi Lykurg.

Is it possible to dispose QtextEdti to do NOT the transormation from \r\n to \n?
