Partial "Win" name

[Skrip]

could a partial window name work, in any way?

$win_name = "PARTIAL NAME"


While 1
    sleep(100)

if WinExists($win_name) Then
    MsgBox(64,"Alert", "IF <NAME> EXISTS MESSAGE HERE")
EndIf

WEnd

could something like that work?

[Valuater]

Maybe this

$win_name = "PARTIAL NAME"


While 1
    sleep(100)

if WinExists($win_name) Then
    MsgBox(64,"Alert", "IF " & $win_name" & " EXISTS MESSAGE HERE")
EndIf

WEnd

(by the way you missed a ")

$win_name = "PARTIAL NAME"

While 1

sleep(100)

if WinExists($win_name) Then

MsgBox(64,"Alert", "IF " & "$win_name" & " EXISTS MESSAGE HERE")

EndIf

WEnd

Would the uhmmm, whats it called.... o ya

Opt("WinSetTitleMatch", 1) or something like that, i forget wat its called.

[Skrip]

[Shinies]

did it work?

Actually, there was one extra quote in Valuater's very fast reply.

MsgBox(64,"Alert", "IF " & $win_name" & " EXISTS MESSAGE HERE")

You did thank him - but you seem to have "corrected his code" by adding another extra quote:

(by the way you missed a ")

...

MsgBox(64,"Alert", "IF " & "$win_name" & " EXISTS MESSAGE HERE")

I think that is should be like this:

MsgBox(64,"Alert", "IF " & $win_name & " EXISTS MESSAGE HERE")

There should not be quotes around the variable during concatenation...

...unless you were going for msg text like this for some reason:

IF $win_name EXISTS MESSAGE HERE

then you can stick with:

MsgBox(64,"Alert", "IF " & "$win_name" & " EXISTS MESSAGE HERE") ....or just

MsgBox(64,"Alert", "IF $win_name EXISTS MESSAGE HERE")

Both of those will not display the value of the variable.

...but the OPT setting is all you needed.

[Skrip]

Yes but I added some more to it but its giving me an error (ya i did try it like this

MsgBox(64,"Alert", "IF " & $win_name" & " EXISTS MESSAGE HERE")

and this

MsgBox(64,"Alert", "IF " & $win_name & " EXISTS MESSAGE HERE")

and so far i've got this

$win_name = "MSN"


While 1
    sleep(100)

if WinExists($win_name) Then
    MsgBox(64,"Alert", "Alert")
if WinExists($win_name) Then
    WinClose("$win_name", "")
EndIf


WEnd

Im using MSN as a test page (msn.com)

I want the script to give the alert then close the "$win_name" or the page its alerting from

when i open it, it says WEnd is not a command, and when i remove it, it says EndIf is not finished without WEnd

please help

heres the error

Line 14 (File "C:\Autoit3\testwin.au3"):

WEnd

Error: "Wend" statement with no matching "While" statement.

try:

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
$win_name = "MSN"

While 1
    Sleep(100)
    If WinExists($win_name) Then
        MsgBox(64, "Alert", "Alert")
        WinClose("$win_name", "")
    EndIf
WEnd

[Skrip]

Thanks that worked but is there a way to make the window close when the alert thing pops up?

EDIT: I just found the WinClose thing but its not working... please fix

MsgBox pauses script execution. That means that the windows won't close until a message box button is clicked.

Try putting WinClose before the MsgBox

[Skrip]

didn't work

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
$win_name = "MSN"

While 1
    Sleep(100)
    If WinExists($win_name) Then
    WinClose("$win_name", "")
        MsgBox(64, "Alert", "Alert")
    EndIf
WEnd

[MSLx Fanboy]

It should be:

WinClose($win_name)

What you have right now, it's looking for a window title that is really "$win_name" (not "MSN")

[Skrip]

ya, thanks that worked

[herewasplato]

It should be:

WinClose($win_name)

What you have right now, it's looking for a window title that is really "$win_name" (not "MSN")

Thanks for correcting that - I had to leave for a while right after I posted that quick copy/paste/sloppy edit/error!
