QRegExp for extracting the string between two HTML tags...

[Lykurg]

Sorry but i had my reasons to ask... I know regexp, no need to insult me.
If i ask it's because normal regexp don't seam to be compatible with QRegExp.

Well you didn't ask the following in the first time!

For my need, the following should work.
(?<=<TH>)([a-zA-Z0-9 ])+(?=</TD>)

Applied to <TH>test</TD> ... this pattern will return <TH>test... so the backward lookup doesn't seem to be implemented.

Yes, not all is implemented, but one can achieve all with some extra work.

QString str = "<TH>test</TD> foo <TH>bar</TD>";
    QRegExp rx("<TH>([a-zA-Z0-9 ]+)</TD>");
    QStringList list;
    int pos = 0;
    while ((pos = rx.indexIn(str, pos)) != -1)
    {
        list << rx.cap(1);
        pos += rx.matchedLength();
    }
    qWarning() << list; // ("test", "bar")

QString str = "<TH>test</TD> foo <TH>bar</TD>";
    QRegExp rx("<TH>([a-zA-Z0-9 ]+)</TD>");
    QStringList list;
    int pos = 0;
    while ((pos = rx.indexIn(str, pos)) != -1)
    {
        list << rx.cap(1);
        pos += rx.matchedLength();
    }
    qWarning() << list; // ("test", "bar")
