useing vars for function parms

[acecase]

Hey,

I am haveing some problem useing vareables as parameters for AutoIt functions.

I have had the problem in some functions and not in others so I wander if its a syntax problem I'm haveing or if these functions just don't support it.

This works fine..

$vAwayMsg = IniRead("chatbt.ini", "Messages", "awayMsg", "I'm away.")

Send("/away ")

ClipPut($vAwayMsg)

Send("^v")

However this doesn't seem to be working..

$vWinTitle = IniRead("chatbt.ini", "Options", "windowTitle", "Klient")

$vFailed = 0

Do

$vFailed = $vFailed + 1

Sleep(1000)

If $vFailed = 7

loadKlient()

EndIf

Until WinActive($vWinTitle) ;have tried this with and without quotes ("$vWinTitle")

$vFailed = 0

Sleep(1000)

WinMove($vWinTitle, "", 0, 0) ;this one too

I have tried this with WinMove useing the actual window title instead of the var and the program just opens and sets there for 7 seconds untill the $vFailed var reaches its exit point so I am assumeing it isn't seeing the rite window title wich i have double checked and it is stored correctly in $vWinTitle.

I dunno, Im sure its something i have looked over.

Thanks for any help offerd

acecase,

I tried below script and that works fine for me...

Could it be that you need to specify: AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 1) to match anysubstrinfg in the title ?

jos

$vWinTitle = IniRead("chatbt.ini", "Options", "windowTitle", "Untitled - Notepad")

$vFailed = 0

Do

$vFailed = $vFailed + 1

Sleep(1000)

If $vFailed = 7

loadKlient()

EndIf

Until WinActive($vWinTitle)

sleep(1000)

WinMove($vWinTitle, "", 0, 0) ;this one too

Exit(0)

func loadklient()

run("notepad.exe")

return

endif
