Wildcards in WinGetTitle()

[phew]

Hi,

i got a problem with following code:

$title = WinGetTitle("FileZilla")

If ($title = "*verbunden*") Then
    MsgBox(0, "Title (Connected!)", $title)

ElseIf ($title = "*version*") Then
    MsgBox(0, "Title (Not connected!)", $title)
    
Else
    MsgBox(0, "Title", "error")
    
EndIf

i want to check with wildcards if the word "verbunden" or "version" is anywhere in the window's title but i got some problems with the wildcard thingy, i guess it doesnt accept the '*'s as wildcards in this function. any idea?

Try this:

$title = WinGetTitle("FileZilla")

If StringInStr($title, "verbunden") Then
    MsgBox(0, "Title (Connected!)", $title)

ElseIf StringInStr($title, "version") Then
    MsgBox(0, "Title (Not connected!)", $title)
    
Else
    MsgBox(0, "Title", "error")
    
EndIf

Oh, thank you very much, i guess didn't read the F1-Help carefully, i was searching for something like this

You can also use regular expressions in window titles in order to do wildcard (or more complicated) matches.
