WndHandle, Get a partial title

[volt]

http://www.indigorose.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15400&highlight=WndHandle
For example, to close this window (indigorose forums), i used the following code and it worked:



windows = Window.EnumerateTitles();
window_name = "stopping a program - Indigo Rose Software Forums - Mozilla Firefox";
for handle, title in windows do result = String.Find(title, window_name, 1, false);
if (result ~= -1) then Window.Close(handle, CLOSEWND_SENDMESSAGE);
end
end


If you are using firefox, it should work perfectly with you


Is it possible for me just to search for just to have

window_name = "stopping a program - Indigo Rose Software Forums"


Because they may not use Firefox =P

Yes, it is. Just replace the string and it will work.

Still lost so how would I wildcard the title?

[Roboblue]

do a string.replace action

windows = Window.EnumerateTitles();
window_name = "stopping a program - Indigo Rose Software Forums - Mozilla Firefox";
sWindowName = String.Replace(window_name, " - Mozilla Firefox", "", false);
for handle, title in windows do result = String.Find(title, sWindowName, 1, false);
if (result ~= -1) then Window.Close(handle, CLOSEWND_SENDMESSAGE);
end
end

Actually, the first word in the window title is all you neeed, the rest are redundant.

You don't need. The String.Find action will search for what you gave it.

Volt, String.Find searches for any instance of the characters you feed it. If you want to omit the " - Mozilla Firefox" from your title, any window that has
"stopping a program - Indigo Rose Software Forums" in the title would close. Think of it as a substring search.

That'll teach not to actually try to explain why rather than blurting out the answer :rolleyes
