This article shows how you can split a QString into pieces using a specified delimiter.

Use case

At times we need to split a string into seperate strings. For example we want to get all email ids from a mailing list. Each mail id is seperated with "," This can be easily done using QString

QString mailingList("abc@xyz.com,def@xyz.com,ghi@xyz.com,jkl@xyz.com");
QString delimiterPattern(",");
QStringList mailids = mailingList.split(delimiterPattern);
