String into

[NeMoD]

edit: I messed up the title of the post

Theres much more, but I'd post the only part that doesn't work

$Stringname = InputBox("Person's Name", "Put the username that displays in the chat window here", "")
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 1) 
WinActive ($Stringname)

I'm trying to make it able accept a persons name, then it activate the users chat window, since most chat programs have the username in the title.

But I the string doesn't work in WinActive?

That is because I highly doubt any chat program has ONLY the user name in the title... Try something like this

$sWinName = InputBox("Chat", "Enter the user's name!")
$sWindows  = WinList()
For $i = 1 to $sWindows[0][0]
    if (StringInStr($sWindows[$i][0], $sWinName)) Then
           ;Put your code here: WinActivate($sWindows[$i][1])
    Else
    EndIf
Next

You'll find this more difficult than you think in IM applications... but I would do Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 2) (1 is default btw, no need for an Opt). Edited October 6, 2006 by SmOke_N

oh I thought 0 was default, maybe I misread, thanks for the replies I'll try it out now

edit: thanks CHRIS95219 works perfectly
