searching WinList()

[SleepyXtreme]

I was wondering if anyone has a good method for searching WinList() for window names. cause i keep trying with all sorts of methods and none are working.

Basically, i want to do the following:

$List=WinList()
$Exceptions[1]= "Internet Explorer"
$Exceptions[2] = "AIM"
$Exceptions[3] = "Windows"
$Exceptions[4] = "Firefox"
$Exceptions[5] = "word"
$Exceptions[0] = 5

For $y = 1 to $List[0][0]
     For $x = 1 to $Exceptions[0]
          if $Exceptions[$x] = $List[$y][0] then
              $List[$y][0] = ""
          Endif
     Next
Next

I've tried this many different ways and i can't get anything to work. Can anyone actual code this to work or maybe have a better idea?

any help would be appreciated, thanks

If StringInStr($List[$y][0], $Exceptions[$x]) And BitAnd(WinGetState($List[$y][1]), 2) Then

Try not using '=' for complete match, since your list doesn't look like full window names:

; If $Exceptions[$x] = $List[$y][0] then
If StringInStr($List[$y][0], $Exceptions[$x]) then

Edit: Doh! The SmOke_N answer-bot beat me to it!

funny thing is, i beat you both to it cause i just realized that's what i had to do and i just checked the thread. here's the final product:

Func Exceptions()
    msgbox(0,"Exceptions","Exceptions are on")
    $Exceptions[0] = "30"
    $Exceptions[1] = "Downloads"
    $Exceptions[2] = "AIM"
    $Exceptions[3] = "Windows"
    $Exceptions[4] = "searching WinList() - AutoIt Forums"
    $Exceptions[5] = "word"
    $Exceptions[6] = "internet"
    For $y = 1 to $WindowList[0][0]
        For $x = 1 to UBound($Exceptions, 1) - 1
            If StringInStr($WindowList[$y][0], $Exceptions[$x]) > 0 then
                    ConsoleWrite("Match found: " & $Exceptions[$x] & @LF)
                    $WindowList[$y][0] = ""
            EndIf
        Next
    Next 
EndFunc

FYI

StringInStr returns an integer/boolean type.

So:

StringInStr($WindowList[$y][0], $Exceptions[$x]) > 0

> 0 is not necessary in that condition statement.

Also, I took the assumption that you are in some way going to interact with these windows, so I made sure they were visible during the check.

If this is the case, you may want to look more at using the handle returned after the StringInStr() rather than the window name (Unless of course that holds answers to other parts of your script).
