need help with winsetstate

[Markos]

I want to hide window with name similar to:

3% [file 1.avi] (dub in progress)

I need to match the '[' and ']' characters but the problem is that winsetstate counts these chars as special chars as it does in for ex.:

winsetstate('[CLASS:xxx]','',...)

this did not work:

Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 2)
WinSetState('[' & $file & '] (dub in progress)','',@SW_HIDE)

I thought it can be done using [REGEXPTITLE:] but I dont know how.

Can anyone help me?

I kept running into failures w/ REGEXPTITLE on this particular one as well. Here's a workaround method - longer code than planned, but it works for the naming pattern you gave as an example:

Dim $aWindows

$aWindows = WinList()
$sPattern = "\d{1,3}\%\h{1}\[.*[\.avi]\].*"

For $i = 1 To $aWindows[0][0]
    If StringRegExp($aWindows[$i][0], $sPattern) Then
        WinSetState($aWindows[$i][1], "", @SW_HIDE)
    EndIf
Next

thanx, this one is working...
