Problem with winactivate?

[langthang084]

here is my code 

Do
    send("!a")
        sleep(300)
        send("{space}")
Until WinActive("Microsoft Office Word", "made 1 replacements.")

I want to send ALT + A and SPACE until the window "Word has completed its search of the document and has made 1 replacements." appear. But if i run this scripts above, it will run forever. And When I change to "WinActive("Microsoft Office Word", "1"), it stop when "made 10 replacements" appear.

When you use "WinActive("Microsoft Office Word", "2")" Does it stop at "made 2 replacements"?

If it does, im inclined to think it may have something to do with timing..

How can i reproduce it?

EDIT: BTW check the title of the topic.

No. It stop at "made 29 replacements" :|

Try:

While WinActive("Microsoft Office Word", "made 1 replacements.") = 0
    send("!a")
    sleep(300)
    send("{space}")
WEnd

Check if the word you are looking for is realy "replacements." and not "replacement." since it's 1 replacement.

It still run again and again :|.  I also change to "made 1 replacement" but not successful

Try adding the opt WinTitleMatch 2 option to the top, and change the title to just "made 1" or "1 replacement".

Im not at my desktop, so i may be wrong, but i think it's that or very similar, search for title match in help file and you'll see it.

EDIT: its WinTitleMatchMode 2

Thanks you! I have solved it. When i put sleep(300) below "send("{space}") and use "replacement", not "replacements", now it run correctly.  

Here's my code:

Do
    send("!a")
    sleep(300)
    send("{space}")
    sleep(300)
Until WinActive("Microsoft Office Word", "made 1 replacement.")

Glad it's sorted out.
