Advanced Window Descriptions - can't match a window with semicolons and brackets in title

[lee321987]

I can't match a window with this title:

HwndWrapper[FastBoot.exe;;d9393b52-8924-4387-b35d-41f4cb70645b]

WinExists("[REGEXPTITLE:HwndWrapper.*]")

does not match it.

I assume it has something to do with the semicolons and/or brackets in the title.

Is there any way to do this?

Try

WinExists("HwndWrapper")

For me it works with AutoIt 3.3.14.5. Which version of AutoIt are you using?

GUICreate('HwndWrapper[FastBoot.exe;;d9393b52-8924-4387-b35d-41f4cb70645b]')
ConsoleWrite(WinExists("[REGEXPTITLE:HwndWrapper.*]") & @CRLF) ; = 1

That would only be the case if you used a meta character as part of the search - e.g. WinExists ("[REGEXPTITLE: HwndWrapper[FastBoot.exe. *]").

You can mask the meta characters with \ ...

WinExists("[REGEXPTITLE:HwndWrapper\[FastBoot.exe.*]")
