WinWait... support for dynamic window titles?

[logotron]

I want to use WinWait(...) for windows, which title names I don't know fully.

This works:

Run("notepad.exe")

WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad")

This does not work unfortunately:

Run("notepad.exe")

WinWaitActive("Untitled - Note*")

I need to wait for some windows which title names are somewhat dynamic. Only the beginning of the title name is fixed.

They are mIRC channel windows. The title names are something like "#chat-world [39] [+ntl 49]: Welcome! - !rules - Do Not Msg @'s or +'s - !rules - http://chat-world.we-rock.org"

As you can see I only know the beginning of the title: "#chat-world". The rest of it is not deterministic to me since it can change day by day.

So I would need something like this:

WinWaitActive("{#}chat-world*")

Is this already supported by AutoIt? If no, would you please add this feature?

Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 2)
WinWait('#chat-world')

Find a word(s) that is common in every title.

Great, it works! Thank you.

AutoIt seems to be very advanced.
