Feels almost like the STL API! ;) > Exercise left to the reader: why didn't I check with echo? That's a trick question! Because an echo repeats everything you say it would be sufficient to escape with half the number of backslashes as needed. But since we need 7 of them which cannot be divided by 2 without fractional part the use of echo here is impossible and might even format your harddrive (twice!). Every Unix crack knows that ;) Cheers, Oliver _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
