else

end func

console output:

712 settings

got here

why did it print got here and not there??

wintitlematchmode is set to 3 which should be exact match...

CRLF should be @CRLF

end func should be EndFunc

@OP,

copy/paste semi working code to the forum :-)

No, it's not, run the modified script and didn't work.

I need a way to match the entire title string and not partial.

- right now it's printing in comparison to the first 7xx instead of 712

func test()
$title = WinGetTitle("[active]")
ConsoleWrite($title & @CRLF)

$x = "755 settings"
$y = "712D settings"
$z = "852 settings"
$w = "855 settings"
if string($title) = $x Or $w then
consolewrite("got here" & @CRLF)
elseif string($title) = $y Or $z then
consolewrite("got there" & @CRLF)
else
consolewrite("Try again" & CRLF)
EndIf; <- this is what you were missing.

This is your error:

elseif string($title) = $y Or $z then

I guess it should be

elseif string($title) = $y Or string($title) = $z then

In the first form that statement was always true since $z has a value.

EDIT: the same thing with:

if string($title) = $x Or $w then

if string($title) = $x Or string($title) = $w then

WinGetTitle returns a string, so no need to convert the var $title to a string and you might want double equal signs for case sensitive matching - or maybe not :-)
