Using regular expression to match a window?

[zhaicheng]

Is it possible to use regular expression to match a window ’s text ,not a title or classname?

Although I can solve the problem by first getting the text by using "WinGetText" Function, and then matching with "StringRegExp".

Is there any direct way?

Many thanks!

That is built into Autoit with "WinTitleMatchMode" Mode 4

WinWait('[REGEXPTITLE:(?i)Windows Media]')  ;RE for Windows Media anywhere in title case insensitive

WinWait('[REGEXPTITLE:xplorer²; REGEXPCLASS:ATL:ExplorerFrame]')   ;RE for xplorer² anywhere in title & Class ATL:ExplorerFrame

It comes in handy when matching Titles or Classes with a colon ":" in them
