ProcessClose() to close all instances?

[Dirk98]

Guys ProcessClose() doesn't close all instances of the running process. How to close ALL INSTANCES of the same process?

Thanks.

ProcessWaitClose() helped. Don't know if it is the best method though.

I gave you the answer to this in your other thread:

EDIT:

Yes, SmokeOn, you're spot on, I'm very sorry!

I'm still getting confused in this stuff easily.

Many thanks.

While ProcessExists("notepad.exe")
    ProcessClose("notepad.exe")
WEnd

While ProcessExists("notepad.exe")
    ProcessClose("notepad.exe")
WEnd

This is a good example, but keep in mind you are continuously enuming the process list here, where as if you do it the way I have in the other example, you enum it once.

Do you mean it runs continuously until the script exits, right?

Will it work if the process I want to close is AutoIt.exe to avoid multiple instances of the same? Or there's some third way to achieve that?

Many thanks.
