Hello! I'm trying to figure out regexp for a line that contains starts in itself. For example some of the lines may start with ***HELLO and then continue with something else where stars are the actual stars symbols:

!HELLO - This is the first line
(HELLO) - Thi is is the second line
***HELLO - is the third line
HELLO - This is the fourth line
etc.

In this text I need to locate line # 3. How can I do it with the regexp? I have tried:

Qt Code: 
  1. QRegExp rx("***HELLO*");
  2.         rx.setPatternSyntax(QRegExp::Wildcard);
  3.         statLineIndex = statFile.indexOf(rx);
  4.         QMessageBox::about(0, "test", QString::number(statLineIndex));
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
but, of course I keep getting first and second line and can't deffirentiate the starts, first three mean the actual star symbols and the last one is any characters. How do I diffirentiate those?
