QRegExp - color word before ::

So, I am using QSyntaxHiglihter to create syntax highlight rules for my editor. I am using QRegExp for this purpose. Now, regular expressions is not my field, so anybody know how to create a rule for say,

std::cout

with std one color, and cout another? I tried with QRegExp("\\b::\\b");, but that only colors the colons. Thanks!

Figured it out: \\b[A-Za-z0-9_]+(?=::)

You can not solve your problem without a basic understanding of regular expressions. The documentation of QRegExp contains a brief introduction. If I were you I would read it and the Syntax Highlighter Example. These two articles will help you find the answer to your questions.
