Okay, I'm stumped...
Message 1 in thread
How are you supposed to create a variable that contains a single
member with spaces in it? I thought that it was by using quote()
but that doesn't seem to work.
I've even tried using quote() with a backslash-space in it - that
adds the backslash happily to the output and still gives me a
multiple-member var.

If you mean to protect spaces in a string that contains something similar to
a command-line (that's an example), by surrounding w/ quotes, then you'll
have to implement the \ (\\, \") protecting by yourself, Qt doesn't provide
QString tools for that. It's not that simple but not too complex anyway, a
kind of classical exercise.

I have absolutely no idea what you mean. White-space is irrelevant in C++,
although the pre-processor will preserve it in string literals. Also, I can
find no reference to the 'quote()' function in the Qt help, linux man pages
or MSDN.
Can you post a short code example of what you're trying to achieve?

Only reference I could find to a quote(...) method was in the Python
documentation.

Sorry, my mistake - I should have been more specific. This is in
reference to a QMake makefile.

How are you supposed to create a variable that contains a single
member with spaces in it? I thought that it was by using quote()
but that doesn't seem to work.
I've even tried using quote() with a backslash-space in it - that
adds the backslash happily to the output and still gives me a
multiple-member var.
