QString::split() and " ", "
" and "
" convention

Question

I understand that `QString::split` should be used to get a `QStringList` from a multiline `QString`. But if I have a file and I don't know if it comes from Mac, Windows or Unix, I'm not sure if `QString.split("
")` would work well in all the cases. What is the best way to handle this situation?

Accepted Answer

If it's acceptable to remove blank lines, you can try:

```
QString.split(QRegExp("[
]"),QString::SkipEmptyParts);
```

This splits the string whenever any of the newline character (either line feed or carriage return) is found. Any consecutive line breaks (e.g. `

` or `

`) will be considered multiple delimiters with empty parts between them, which will be skipped.
