Can you give us a screenshot of the AutoIt Window Info Tool and the window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjmarket Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 The code works. Your problem is that you are only looking for a window that contains the text you specified. Do you know the exact title of the window you want to get the text from? That would help a lot. Pink Floyd - The Wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Ensure you are using WinWait() to wait for the window to come along, else WinGetText() may execute too early. Also you may need to account for the carriage return if exists. Only adding @LF would make it work for me. This works for me. Run('Notepad') WinWait('Untitled') ControlSend('Untitled', '', 'Edit1', 'start'); add some text to notepad $text = WinGetText('Untitled') If $text = ('start' & @LF) Then MsgBox(0, 'OK', 'success') EndIf MsgBox(0, '$test=', '"' & $text & '"'); Check variable contents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valuater Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Many times i find myself using If StringinStr($text, 'start') Then that way if there is a line feed or "other" character, you still can get you desired results 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

esteban Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 thank you Valuater, after using StringinStr everything worked. thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I would have used StringStripWhiteSpace() to get the "start", because if the line contained "jumpstart" then StringInStr() would also return true. "jumpstart" is a different word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
