Help with a loop

[Fr000m]

Hello everyone, new to autoit. I have a window that shares a common name with several others. I need to search it for a specific string, and click "ok". So far, I have this:

Global $s_title_of_popup = "WINDOW NAME"
Global $s_msgbox_class = "#32770"
 

While 1
    WinWait("[Title:" & $s_title_of_popup ["$sText"] & "Class:" & $s_msgbox_class & "]")
    ControlClick("[Title:" & $s_title_of_popup ["$sText"] & "Class:" & $s_msgbox_class & "]", "", "Button1")
 WEnd

This works well at replying with OK to any window by that name. I need to add a third global variable, which is the content of text from the window. I tried this:

Global $s_title_of_popup = "WINDOW NAME"
Global $s_msgbox_class = "#32770"
Global $sText = WinGetText ("WINDOW NAME" ["SPECIFIC STRING"])

While 1
    WinWait("[Title:" & $s_title_of_popup ["$sText"] & "Class:" & $s_msgbox_class & "]")
    ControlClick("[Title:" & $s_title_of_popup ["$sText"] & "Class:" & $s_msgbox_class & "]", "", "Button1")
 WEnd

Unfortunately this does not run (at all), it errors out line 3. Error: Subscript used on non-accesible variable.

 

I am sure I've done something obvious, but I've tried a few things and can't get it right, so I'll post here for help. What I need to do is:

run a .exe in the background (most likely as a service)
have that .exe constantky looking for a popup window
if the popup window contains a specific string, click ok

I can't fix all your errors on mobile, but don't use brackets it you don't declare arrays

I wouldn't use variables like you do to get access to a window.  It is very hard to read, and it is useless, since you will refer to them only once, at the first Win* () function.  Because after that statement, you should use the window handle provided by the Win* () function.

Local $hWnd = WinWait ("[TITLE: something; CLASS:#32770]")
ControlClick ($hWnd, "", "Button1")

Don't you think it is clearer ?

Hey all, ty. Nine, that's very clean, thank you. I just need to add a second condition, in addition to title. The condition needs to be matching a string in the body of the popup.

 

Therefore:

While 1
    Local $hWnd = WinWait (Title: something; need to find specific string also Class:#32770]")
    ControlClick (hWnd, "", Button1")
WEnd

 

Appreciate all the help!

Missed a $ in there, second line, can't figure out how to edit the post.

[Nine]

You can specify text at the second parameter of the WinWait ()

[Fr000m]

Ah ok, thank you, I will give it a try! 

[Fr000m]

So far, no luck. This is my current code:

While 1
    Local $hWnd = WinWait ("[TITLE: titleofwindow , textofwindow; CLASS:#32770]")
    ControlClick ($hWnd, "", "Button1")
WEnd

 

Probably not doing something abundantly obvious again. It does execute without errors, but it's not accomplishing the objective.

[Fr000m]

Every time I try to structure as dictated by the paremeters of winwait, it highlights the first [, as a syntax error.

WinWait ( "title" [, "text" [, timeout = 0]] )

Should this be:

Winwait ("windowtitle" [, "windowtext") ?

 

[Nine]

no it is for documention those brackets.  It means it is an optional parameter...remove the brackets and place the text into double quotes

[Fr000m]

I cannot get this to work, I just get unable to parse line. The syntax of autoit is....frustrating.

 

While 1
    Local $hWnd = WinWait ("WINDOWTITLE" "WINDOWTEXT" CLASS:#32770)
ControlClick ($hWnd, "", "Button1")
 WEnd

 

The unable to parse line error is focused on the #

[Nine]

Local $hWnd = WinWait ("[TITLE: something; CLASS:#32770]", "Text you are searching for")
ControlClick ($hWnd, "", "Button1")

Copy/paste those 2 lines and only replace the title and the text. 

[Fr000m]

Thanks, tried it, does nothing. The popup remains un-acknowledged.

 

While 1
    Local $hWnd = WinWait ("[TITLE: windowname; CLASS:#32770]", "specific string")
    ControlClick ($hWnd, "", "Button1")
 WEnd

Show au3info.exe of the popup.  Show screen capture of the popup. Replace real name and real text.

I did, which is how I got the title and the visible text.

I am using the window name "DeltaV Logon" and the text "PROVOX Logon failure!"

There are other windows with the title "DeltaV Logon" that I do not want to do anything to, hence my desire to also use specific text from the message.

post button au3info in here, put a msgbox (0,"",$hWnd) after WinWait so we can see if it gets the window or not, post screen capture of popup in here

I pasted the info from au3info, from the summary tab. Could you clarify what you mean?

 

Also, can't get it to parse. 

While 1
    Local $hWnd = WinWait msgbox(0,"",$hWnd) ;("[TITLE: DeltaV Logon; CLASS:#32770]", "PROVOX Logon failure"))
   ControlClick($hWnd, "", "Button1")
 WEnd

 

I am terrible with autoit syntax.
