Danyfirex is correct, quotation mark placement is very important.

unless the folder name is literally "&$pathString" , then it should not be inside the quotation marks.

ive spent hours fighting with codes because of this issue.

when in SciTE script editor pay careful attention to the colors of the words in your code, that is helpful in understanding where a line of code is messing up.

$pathString = "New folder"
 
WinWaitActive("[TITLE: &$pathString ; CLASS:CabinetWClass]","")
ControlClick("[TITLE: &$pathString ; CLASS:CabinetWClass]", "", "[id:1001]")
WinClose("[TITLE: &$pathString; CLASS:CabinetWClass]")

variables and array names ($var) should always be black, whether they are being defined...

$pathString = "New folder"

or being called...

WinWaitActive("[TITLE:" & $pathString  & "; CLASS:CabinetWClass]","")

Thank you,

Danyfirex and alienclone

Sorry Danyfirex you were the first to answer but I will have to go with alienclone 

for education.

Seeing how simple it was.

Seems like i have to go to the supermarket and buy a wet fish and slap myself.

I could not looking and searching other peoples scripts there were no windows Titles that had variables names.

thankyou both
