QSetting value() not correct

[bpetty]

Hey guys. I am having a problem with QSetting. The problem is that I am reading from an ini that looks like this:

[Current Server Directory]
current.dir=c:\indir

I am using the following code:

QSettings INConfig(sPath, QSettings::IniFormat);
std::cout << "ServerDir: " << INConfig.value("Current Server Directory/current.dir").toString().toStdString() << std::endl;

QSettings INConfig(sPath, QSettings::IniFormat);
std::cout << "ServerDir: " << INConfig.value("Current Server Directory/current.dir").toString().toStdString() << std::endl;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Basically, my problem is that it returns: c:ndir
I call this a bug... troll tech may call this a feature. Is there anyway to turn this "feature" off?

Thank,
Brandon P.

As the docs say:

Although backslash is a special character in INI files, most Windows applications don't escape backslashes (\) in file paths:
windir = C:\Windows
QSettings always treats backslash as a special character and provides no API for reading or writing such entries.

All you can do is to use "\\", "/" (this should work under windows too) or write your own format handler.
