how to display certain windows

[Hypertrophy]

how would i display all windows that end in "Logging for joe99" in and array. I don't know how to isolate only the windows that end in that phrase.

What about using AutoItSetOption with WinTextMatchMode or WinTitleMatchMode?

I am sure that "Window Titles and Text (Advanced)" in help file will help you.

Use the "CLASS" for your problem

[Hypertrophy]

Class won't work because the application, every window has the same exact class. And I can't change WinTitleMatchMode because it'll mess up other parts of my code where I need the whole window title.

Change it back when you're done

[Hypertrophy]

How do you do that?

[somdcomputerguy]

Just set it to what is needed before it is needed, once, twice, three times..

[somdcomputerguy]

For example, this code returns this

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
ConsoleWrite("Full title read was: " & WinGetTitle("Mozilla", "") & @LF)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 1)
ConsoleWrite("Full title read was: " & WinGetTitle("Mozilla", "") & @LF)

Full title read was: how to display certain windows - AutoIt Forums - Mozilla Turboshrimp
Full title read was: 0

Hey glad to help

[Hypertrophy]

been working on it and i can't figure out how to structure the code so it shows ALL windows that end in "Logging for joe99". its only showing the window that was last active

$tbllist = WinList("[CLASS:SpecialClass]")
        For $n = 1 To $tbllist[0][0]
            If $tbllist[$n][0] <> "" AND IsVisible($tbllist[$n][1]) Then
                    Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)     ; set window title matching mode to match any substring
                    For $m = 1 To $tbllist[0][0]
                        $ttitle = WinGetTitle("Logged for joe99 ")
                        msgbox(0,"", $ttitle)   ; its only displaying last active window?
                    Next

                EndIf
            EndIf
        Next

This works for me (with different $sEndWith)

$sEndWith = "Logging for joe99" ; get all visible windows ending with
$aVar = WinList()
$sWin = ""
For $i = 1 to $aVar[0][0]
    If StringRegExp($aVar[$i][0], '(?i).*\Q' & $sEndWith & '\E ) And BitAnd(WinGetState($aVar[$i][1]), 2) Then
        $sWin &= $aVar[$i][0] & "," & $aVar[$i][1] & @CRLF
    EndIf
Next
MsgBox(262144, "Ending with: " & $sEndWith, $sWin)
