AIM Bot

[kapowdude]

hey im trying to make my own bot that recives messages from an instant message then eventually the person will commmand the bot to do something...

but first i'm having problems to detect if some one has imed me...

While 1
    WinExists(":                - Instant Message")
WEnd
If WinExists(":                - Instant Message") then WinActivate(":           - Instant Message")
Send("welcom %n, checking username")

it doesnt seem to be working for me. Im trying to get it so it detects if someone has imed the bot... and the bot will reply to the message.

Won't work:

While 1
    WinExists(":                - Instant Message")
WEnd

Might work:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) ;match any part of title
$partialTitle = " - Instant Message"

While 1
    sleep(10);prevent maxing out the CPU
    
    WinWait($partialTitle);WAIT FOR WINDOW TO APPEAR
    $fullTitle = WinGetTitle($partialTitle)
    WinActivate($fullTitle)
    Send("welcome %n, checking username")
    
;change title so that WinWait will not keep matching the same window!!
    $newTitle = StringReplace($fullTitle, "Instant Message", "Instant Msg")
    WinSetTitle($fullTitle, "", $newTitle)
WEnd

Hey, cool idea! I like it and am currently useing/changing to my likings. One question though, how do I get it to write the messages into an .ini file that I can later read and respond to?
