Space in Control Name

[jbarchibald]

I have an older application and there are padded spaces in the name of the control.

for example, one ok button would be ' &OK' and another would be ' &OK'

is there anyway to have autoIT ignore the spaces ?

more specifically I'm using the following command

ControlClick("Form Title", "" , "[TEXT: &OK]")

and unless I get the spaces exactly right, it fails to find the object.

for this application, from past experience with Winrunner, I would prefer to stay away from Control ID's. they are not always the same from machine to machine.

Thoughts ?

programatically-

ControlClick("Form Title", "" , StringReplace("[TEXT: &OK]"," ",""))

But why not just remove it youself?

ControlClick("Form Title", "" , "[TEXT:&OK]")

Can you use the "search and replace" option in the menu ?

I always use that for such jobs
