Advanced Window Descriptions

[RadovanJ]

Hi,

is it possible to use variable ($title=My window) in title advanced description ("[TITLE:My Window;") in this example ?

Example:

WinWait("[TITLE:My Window; CLASS:My Class]", "")

Thanks

WinWait("[TITLE:" & $title & "; CLASS:My Class]", "");

like this?

I do not know exactly what does this syntax mean:

" & $title & "

but if strings & allows use variable in this code, then YES.

Thanks

"&" is the operator to join strings

$var="My ";
$var1="Window";
$win="[TITLE:" & $var & $var1 & "]"; = "[TITLE:My Window]"

[RadovanJ]

I am sorry, but when "&" is the operator to join strings, why must i use this, also when a i have single word title ?

For example:

MyWindow without space

I do not want join variables. I have only one variable.

WinWait("[TITLE:" & $title & "; CLASS:My Class]", "");

Thank you very much for explanation.

WinWait("[TITLE:" & $title & "; CLASS:My Class]", "");

You are correct. Tzackel broke it down a little too much which may have confused you. I am sure that Tzackel did not mean to confuse you. You can even skip the 2nd parameter (text parameter) as is optional.

Edit:

For learrning about the operator "&"

An example of joining variables, strings, numbers... but is not a concern for your above issue

$variable = 'variable part'
$answer = 'this is a string ' & 'and' & ' this is a ' & $variable & ' number ' & 10
MsgBox(0, '', $answer)

Easy once you get used to the language but learn at your own speed.
