Amount of launched files open?

[Shyke]

Is there anyway that I can make it so that my program will only launch an external program if there is less then x amounts open?

look for "processexists" in help

help has very good demo's at the bottom of each page

on your computer press the following

Start > All Programs > Autoit v3 > Autoit Help File

when that loads then press the "search" tab

then type in "?your search?" and press "List Topics"

**** you can do this with any word you want

thats what i do all the time

more like your need is "processlist"

Even with those I can't possibly think of a way to do that....

Did you take a look at the process list example?? Just add a counter to the notepad example

Dim $count = 0

; List just notepad.exe processes
$list = ProcessList("notepad.exe")
for $i = 1 to $list[0][0]
  $count = $count + 1
next
MsgBox(4096,"Count",$count & " instances of notepad are running")

If $count < x amounts Then launch external program....
