I'm trying to get Qt to match a MAC Address ( 1a:2b:3c:4d:5e:6f ) using a QRegExp. I can't seem to get it to match - what am I doing wrong?
I am forcing it to try and match the string:
"48:C1:AC:55:86:F3"
Here are my attempts:
// Define a RegEx to match the mac address
//QRegExp regExMacAddress("[0-9a-F]{1,2}[\.:-]){5}([0-9a-F]{1,2}");
//QRegExp regExMacAddress("[0-9a-F]{0,2}:[0-9a-F]{0,2}:[0-9a-F]{0,2}:[0-9a-F]{0,2}:[0-9a-F]{0,2}:[0-9a-F]{0,2}");
//regExMacAddress.setPatternSyntax(QRegExp::RegExp);
// Ensure that the hexadecimal characters are upper case
hwAddress = hwAddress.toUpper();
qDebug() << "STRING TO MATCH: " << hwAddress << "MATCHED IT: " << regExMacAddress.indexIn(hwAddress) << " Exact Match: " << regExMacAddress.exactMatch(hwAddress);
// Check the mac address format
if ( regExMacAddress.indexIn(hwAddress) == -1 ) {
