Finding a specific line of text

[andrew01]

Hey,

I need to find a fucntion that will look for specific text in a box. Im not sure if it would be ControlGetText. I have looked into it, but it doesnt look like it does what I am looking for. I just want a function that searches for a specific line of text every once and a while and comes back with true or false (depending on whether it was found or not).

Thank you in advance for your help.

Take a look at StringInStr().

Hmm, I will look into that. Thank you. I think maybe would I could do is use ControlGetText, copy it into notepad or something, then use the StringinStr.

For that string function though, it needs to search for a string withing a specific string, not a window...

Is that the only function that does something like that? Is there one that can search for a string inside of a window (not another string)?

Copy to notepad ? Eehm, why ? Just use ControlGetText on the control and store the text

returned in a variable, which you then pass on to StringInStr. It's possible to get the milk

without sucking it directly from the cow you see.

I see what you are saying! That seems like it will work, I will try it out now. Thanks for the help.
