Array help :-(

[allywilson]

hi guys, am having horrible results when trying to setup an array in autoit :-(

Basically, my company is having small recurring issues with users and certain apps.

i've created a simple little script that checks for an active window with the title of e.g. Windows Media Player then shuts it straightaway and loops.

While 1 = 1
WinWaitActive("Windows Media Player")
WinKill("")
Wend

What I'd like to do is have something like

Dim $AnArray
    $AnArray[1] = "Solitaire"
    $AnArray[2] = "Windows Media Player"
    $AnArray[3] = "Calculator"
While 1 = 1
IF WinWaitActive("$AnArray") THEN
WinKill("")
ENDIF
Wend

But I cannot get the syntax correct. I've tried pretty much every format I can think of (I'm not too clued up on AutoIT). The above probably looks like complete gibberish really...The only reference in the autoit handbook isn't very detailed.

Can anyone help? :-(

Dim $AnArray[4]
$AnArray[1] = "Solitaire"
$AnArray[2] = "Windows Media Player"
$AnArray[3] = "Calculator"
While 1 = 1
    For $x = 1 To 3
        If WinWaitActive($AnArray[$x]) Then WinKill($AnArray[$x])
    Next
    Sleep(500)
WEnd

Excellent thanks very much! Another problem though...

The above script doesn't run unless the first window title is activated. If I open calculator first it won't kill it, if I then open solitaire it'll start killing the windows. Any way to change that?

Thanks!

Don't worry! Seemed to get around it by changing WinWaitActive to WinActive.

Cheers for the help!

Correct ... didn't concentrate on the Win command... just the array question ..
