hi
I thought I 'escaped' the dot character by using \\.
is that not the case?

Hi
I have tried this regular expression -
QRegularExpression
expression("^[cfmt]_\\d\\d\\d\\d\\d\\d\\.rcd$");
if (expression.match(receivedFilename).hasMatch());
this finds a match for m_000006.rcd
but unfortunately it also matches m_0000006.rcd
and I cannot figure out why
I have tried this in some of the online regular expression tools
and it seems to work there
What have I got wrong?
A dot is not treated as a literal character . but as an operator.
http://www.regular-expressions.info/dot.html
For readabiliy, I'd not use \\d 6 times, but simply use [\\d]{6}
instead.
André
Thanks
Sarah
