simple QRegExp

[paolom]

if I have:

"My name is @Pinco Pallino@ and your name is @Panco Pallone@..."

I want to extract 'Pinco Pallino' and 'Panco Pallone'

I think that is possible with the regular expression QRegExp ...how can I do this???

P.S. I could have: " @Pinco Pallino@ is my name ... " (it could be n match words between @ )

Thanks

P.S. 2 : I've try with:

QString str ="My name is @Pinco Pallino@ and your name is @Panco Pallone@";
    QRegExp regex("@*@");
    regex.setPatternSyntax(QRegExp::Wildcard);
    regex.indexIn(str);
 
    QStringList list = regex.capturedTexts();

QString str ="My name is @Pinco Pallino@ and your name is @Panco Pallone@";
    QRegExp regex("@*@");
    regex.setPatternSyntax(QRegExp::Wildcard);
    regex.indexIn(str);
   
    QStringList list = regex.capturedTexts();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

the result is: "@Pinco Pallino@ and your name is @Panco Pallone@"...Instead I want:

@Pinco Pallino@
@Panco Pallone@

Paolom,

Look at:

void QRegExp::setMinimal ( bool minimal )

void QRegExp::setMinimal ( bool minimal )

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and with the result you get you might want to look at:

QString QRegExp::cap ( int nth = 0 ) const

QString QRegExp::cap ( int nth = 0 ) const

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Thanks, this is my final working code ( i hope! )\:

// str contains the string to match   
 
    QRegExp regex("@.*@");
    regex.setMinimal(true);
 
    QStringList list;
    int pos = 0;
 
    while ((pos = regex.indexIn(str, pos)) != -1)
    {
        list << regex.cap(0).remove(QChar('@'),Qt::CaseInsensitive);
        pos += regex.matchedLength();
    }
 
    return list;

// str contains the string to match   

    QRegExp regex("@.*@");
    regex.setMinimal(true);

    QStringList list;
    int pos = 0;

    while ((pos = regex.indexIn(str, pos)) != -1)
    {
        list << regex.cap(0).remove(QChar('@'),Qt::CaseInsensitive);
        pos += regex.matchedLength();
    }

    return list;

I would go for a pure regular expression like:
@([^@]+)@
or if you want the @ also:
(@[^@]+@)
