Detailed Description¶
QRegularExpressionValidator
uses a regular expression (regexp) to determine whether an input string isAcceptable
,Intermediate
, orInvalid
. The regexp can either be supplied when theQRegularExpressionValidator
is constructed, or at a later time.If the regexp partially matches against the string, the result is considered
Intermediate
. For example, “” and “A” areIntermediate
for the regexp [A-Z][0-9] (whereas “_” would beInvalid
).
QRegularExpressionValidator
automatically wraps the regular expression in the\\A
and\\z
anchors; in other words, it always attempts to do an exact match.Example of use:
// regexp: optional '-' followed by between 1 and 3 digits QRegularExpression rx("-?\\d{1,3}"); QValidator *validator = new QRegularExpressionValidator(rx, this); QLineEdit *edit = new QLineEdit(this); edit->setValidator(validator);Below we present some examples of validators. In practice they would normally be associated with a widget as in the example above.
// integers 1 to 9999 QRegularExpression re("[1-9]\\d{0,3}"); // the validator treats the regexp as "^[1-9]\\d{0,3}$" QRegularExpressionValidator v(re, 0); QString s; int pos = 0; s = "0"; v.validate(s, pos); // returns Invalid s = "12345"; v.validate(s, pos); // returns Invalid s = "1"; v.validate(s, pos); // returns Acceptable re.setPattern("\\S+"); // one or more non-whitespace characters v.setRegularExpression(re); s = "myfile.txt"; v.validate(s, pos); // Returns Acceptable s = "my file.txt"; v.validate(s, pos); // Returns Invalid // A, B or C followed by exactly five digits followed by W, X, Y or Z re.setPattern("[A-C]\\d{5}[W-Z]"); v.setRegularExpression(re); s = "a12345Z"; v.validate(s, pos); // Returns Invalid s = "A12345Z"; v.validate(s, pos); // Returns Acceptable s = "B12"; v.validate(s, pos); // Returns Intermediate // match most 'readme' files re.setPattern("read\\S?me(\.(txt|asc|1st))?"); re.setPatternOptions(QRegularExpression::CaseInsensitiveOption); v.setRegularExpression(re); s = "readme"; v.validate(s, pos); // Returns Acceptable s = "README.1ST"; v.validate(s, pos); // Returns Acceptable s = "read me.txt"; v.validate(s, pos); // Returns Invalid s = "readm"; v.validate(s, pos); // Returns IntermediateSee also

- class PySide2.QtGui.QRegularExpressionValidator([parent=None])¶
PySide2.QtGui.QRegularExpressionValidator(re[, parent=None])
- param parent:
- param re:
Constructs a validator with a
parent
object that accepts any string (including an empty one) as valid.Constructs a validator with a
parent
object that accepts all strings that match the regular expressionre
.
- PySide2.QtGui.QRegularExpressionValidator.regularExpression()¶
- Return type:
This property holds the regular expression used for validation.
By default, this property contains a regular expression with an empty pattern (which therefore matches any string).
- PySide2.QtGui.QRegularExpressionValidator.regularExpressionChanged(re)¶
- Parameters:
- PySide2.QtGui.QRegularExpressionValidator.setRegularExpression(re)¶
- Parameters:
This property holds the regular expression used for validation.
By default, this property contains a regular expression with an empty pattern (which therefore matches any string).
