I need to store a list of http URI’s as a single string. The language/toolkit shouldn’t matter, but for completeness the language is C++ and the primary toolkit I’m using is Qt (I’m actually trying to get a list of strings into a single QString because it’s one of the few Qt types that doesn’t get pickled in a non-human readable way when it goes into a QDataStream => QVariant => QSettings.)
Is there a ‘safe’ character that I can delimit this list of URI strings with?
It depends on whether the URIs are percent-encoded or not (e.g. like when you type a space in a URL in the URL bar and the browser replaces it with a %20).
If they are encoded, there are many characters you can use, even a single space. If not, I don’t think there’s any “safe” character like this. In that case, maybe you could encode the URIs before storing them together, and possibly decode them later.
