advances search with QRegExp

[solook]

hi ..

how I can do advances search with QRegExp..
if i write "word(?=\s+word2)" just line 2 return true :
1-word false
2-word word2 true
3-word word1 word2 false

my questions is how can i write to "word word1 word2" be true ?

and if write word(?!=\s+word2) "word word1 word2" is still true but how can i write to be false and only "word" be true?

Will this work for you


QRegExp exp("*word*word2*");
exp.setPatternSyntax(QRegExp::Wildcard);

exp.exactMatch("word") ? "true" : "false"); //false
exp.exactMatch("word word2") ? "true" : "false"); //true
exp.exactMatch("word word1 word2") ? "true" : "false"); //true
exp.exactMatch("word word2 word1") ? "true" : "false"); //true
exp.exactMatch("word0 word2 word1") ? "true" : "false"); //true

Here this may a better solutionfor you, without wildcards.



QRegExp exp("word\\s(?!word4).*word2.*");

exp.exactMatch("word") ? "true" : "false"); //false
exp.exactMatch("word word2") ? "true" : "false"); //true
exp.exactMatch("word word1 word2") ? "true" : "false"); //true
exp.exactMatch("word word2 word1") ? "true" : "false"); //true
exp.exactMatch("word0 word2 word1") ? "true" : "false"); //false
exp.exactMatch("word word4 word2 word1") ? "true" : "false"); //false

but he want to use lookahead and match only "word".
This is quite simple fix you excretion like this (\b means word border):
\bword\b(?=.*\bword2\b)
