[JohnBailey]

Why won't this work?

$wait = WinWaitActive("Activity Detail - Windows Internet Explorer" or "Account List - Windows Internet Explorer" ,"",5)
;do action

Opt('WinTitleMatchMode',2) 
$wait = WinWaitActive("Windows Internet Explorer" ,"",5)

$wait = WinWaitActive("regexp=?" ,"",5)

I'm not regexp expert so somebody else can be more specific at this...

Zenda what is a RegXP?

I'm not sure this will totally work though. I only need it to look for those two windows and if something else then it generates the proper self-diagnostics.

Look into HelpFile.

There is special section about Title special definition (link from all WinWaitxxx functions).

REGEXP = regular expressions

In HelpFile is also Tutorial about Regular Expressions

Zedna, yeah I read through that ... I don't really understand. Consequently I'm going to do some research in the forums. If you know of any additional information, that would be much appreciated. Thanks

I suggest to search in forum for examples of use these functions:

StringRegExp()

StringRegExpReplace()

Oh! Thanks. I didn't realize it was string based! That makes WAY more sense now!

String regular expressions was made primarily for these two functions but in latest version of AutoIt it's possible to use them also in Winxxx functions with Opt('WinTitleMatchMode',4).

Zedna, Thanks for the explanation
