QString sth between trimmed and simplified

[pmlody]

Hi all
I need method to trim from begin, end and all internal spaces ( like trimmed + internal ) but leave special characters ( like \n or \t ) just unlike simplified.

This should work:

QString str = "abc  d  e  f  ";
str = str.replace(QRegExp("[ ]{2,}", " "));
str.remove(QRegExp("^[ ]+"));
str.remove(QRegExp("[ ]+$"));

QString str = "abc  d  e  f  ";
str = str.replace(QRegExp("[ ]{2,}", " "));
str.remove(QRegExp("^[ ]+"));
str.remove(QRegExp("[ ]+$"));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

An alternative is to encode special characters as some entities, then do simplifying and then decode the entities back.

Yeah...
I was thinking that there is any method beside regular expressions
but thanks for recipe

I'm pretty sure simplified() and trimmed() use regexps as well
