How to find text within Visible Window Text

[Docfxit]

I'd like to know how to wait for text in a window and perform an operation if it finds the text.

The program I am trying to get the test from is AboutTime.

The window may look like this:

ControlTime Client

Set Time

Cancel

Hide

Exit

Connecting to NIST using SNTP.

New time: Saturday, March 10 ,2007 12 :34:10.

---Activity Lo---

Log to File

If the text "New time:" shows in the window I can Exit

If the text "No time servers available." I need to ControlClick('AboutTime 4.8', '--- Activity Log ---', 'Button1') and go in a loop to keep checking the text.

My problem is the AutoIt Window Info tool doesn't show a constant controlID so I could use $var = ControlGetText("AboutTime 4.8", "No time servers available.", "?")

And I don't know how to identify when $text = WinGetText("AboutTime 4.8", "")

shows the text I am looking for. I'm guessing I would have to have a loop to keep running WinGetText and each time I did I would have to find the strings I'm looking for within the text.

Could someone please show me how to do that?

Thank you,

Would this work?

$text = WinGetText("AboutTime 4.8", "") ; sets the string to a variable
$result = StringInStr($text, "New time:") ; searches for the given substring

If $result > 0 Then ; Checks if "New time:" was found
    Exit ; exits
EndIf

Of course you would have to put that in a while loop and make another If for the other substring. You could also use Select instead.

$text = WinGetText("AboutTime 4.8", "") ; sets the string to a variable
$result = StringInStr($text, "New time:") ; searches for the given substring

If $result > 0 Then ; Checks if "New time:" was found
    Exit ; exits
