That's because operator<< for QStrings always quotes them. You can do one of two ways to get rid of them: qDebug().noquote() << QString(MY_STRING); or qDebug() << MY_STRING; or, even better, if you care about the actual output format: std::cout << MY_STRING << std::endl; qDebug() does *not* guarantee its output will remain stable over time. It's meant for debugging and your users should never have to see them. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
