INI File Contents - Unwanted Manipulation of Values
I have an INI file that contains the regular expression as a string like:
AutoMatchRE=^.*?\t.*?\t.*?\t(\d{2}[A-Z]{3}\d{4})\t.*?\t.*?\t.*?\t.*?\t(\d{2}[A-Z]{3}\d{4})
I do not wish to escape it. "settings.value()', replaces the "\t" and "\d" tokens. I need to be able to prevent it doing so, I can't see a way, there needs to be one. I have tried with and without enclosing it in double quotes.
How can I reproduce this?
Not sure what you mean, it seems to be the way COPYQ works and I'd rather it didn't. Want me to put the above into a small INI?
I don't have control over the INI file parser. That is handled by Qt framework.
What I don't understand is why this is a bug. Does CopyQ fail to load the INI file back (i.e. two characters \t are replaced with a single tab character)? Do you store a regular expression, a byte array or a string?
I don't think I can fix it without writing a custom INI parser for the app. That is unlikely to happen.
