AutoBert Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Can you test this script: Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) ;1=start, 2=subStr, 3=exact, 4=advanced, -1 to -4=Nocase HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate") ;ESC terminates the script HotKeySet("{F8}", "Restart") ;F8 causes an Update of the FF-windows in max. 30 sec. $aWL = WinList(" - Mozilla Firefox") While True While True For $i = 1 To $aWL[0][0] If Not IsArray($aWL) Then ExitLoop 2 ;Restarted If WinActivate($aWL[$i][1]) Then ;only in existing windows If IsArray($aWL) Then ConsoleWrite(@HOUR & ':' & @MIN & ':' & @SEC & ':' & @MSEC & @TAB & $aWL[$i][0] & ' activated' & @CRLF) Sleep(30000) Else ;window is closed meanwhile ContinueLoop EndIf Next ConsoleWrite(@HOUR & ':' & @MIN & ':' & @SEC & ':' & @MSEC & @TAB & 'Winlist Update' & @CRLF) WEnd $aWL = WinList(" - Mozilla Firefox") WEnd Func Restart() $aWL = '' ConsoleWrite(@HOUR & ':' & @MIN & ':' & @SEC & ':' & @MSEC & @TAB & 'Restarted' & @CRLF) EndFunc ;==>Restart Func Terminate() Exit EndFunc ;==>Terminate and if any miibehavings please post the output of scite output console.

orbs Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) ah, that makes sense now. WinList returns the array in different order of elements each time, depending on which was last activated. you can sort the array after WinList, to make it more consistent: #include <Array.au3> Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) ;1=start, 2=subStr, 3=exact, 4=advanced, -1 to -4=Nocase HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate") ;ESC terminates the script HotKeySet("{F8}", "Restart") ;F8 causes an Update of the FF-windows in max. 30 sec. While True $aWL = WinList(" - Mozilla Firefox") _ArraySort($aWL) For $i = 1 To $aWL[0][0] If Not IsArray($aWL) Then ExitLoop ;Restarted If WinActivate($aWL[$i][1]) Then Sleep(4000) ;only in existing windows Next WEnd Func Restart() $aWL = '' ConsoleWrite('Restarted' & @CRLF) EndFunc ;==>Restart Func Terminate() Exit EndFunc ;==>Terminate i truncated the entire If..Then...Else with the ContinueLoop, as it is not needed at all. think logically to understand why. i also repositioned the WinList call.

orbs Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) 1 hour ago, Milan158 said: ... After F8 it goes to an error. I wonder what is wrong with the ArraySort ... it's the restarting method, which changes the data type of $aWL from an array to a string, on which _ArraySort can not operate. generally, changing the data type of a variable at run time is not a good idea. this works for me (including manually opening and closing Firefox windows at run time, with and without using the F8 key for restart): #include <Array.au3> Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) ;1=start, 2=subStr, 3=exact, 4=advanced, -1 to -4=Nocase HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate") ;ESC terminates the script HotKeySet("{F8}", "Restart") ;F8 causes an Update of the FF-windows in max. 30 sec. Global $aWL[1][1] While True $aWL = WinList(" - Mozilla Firefox") _ArraySort($aWL) For $i = 1 To $aWL[0][0] If $aWL[0][0]=0 Then ExitLoop ;Restart If WinActivate($aWL[$i][1]) Then Sleep(4000) ;only in existing windows Next WEnd Func Restart() $aWL[0][0]=0 ConsoleWrite('Restarted' & @CRLF) EndFunc ;==>Restart Func Terminate() Exit EndFunc ;==>Terminate note that this Restart method simply places a zero where the windows count is to be found; and the condition in the For..Next loop checks for that.

Milan158 Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 @orbs : Thanks but does not work on my PC I took the code from Autobert and tried to enhance it with inputbox and protection against a string input. Don't understand why the first IF does not work? I miss the debugging of VisualBasic, steping the code row by row, reading the current values of variables, arrays, objects in any moment. Haven't found these possibilities in SciTE yet... Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) ;1=start, 2=subStr, 3=exact, 4=advanced, -1 to -4=Nocase HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate") ;ESC terminates the script HotKeySet("{F8}", "Restart") ;F8 causes an Update of the FF-windows in max. 30 sec.
