Using wildcards in If statements

[ck369]

I want to be able to open a text file, pull the text from the file then search to see if a specific word or phrase is used in the file. I am sure that I am making a simple mistake here and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

GetWindowText>TEXT VERSION OF POSTAGE STATEMENT.TXT - Notepad,strText
wait>.25
if>%strText% = *Standard*
message>this is standard
else
message>this is not Standard
endif

You can't use wildcards in IF statements. Instead you can use the Position command or RegEx:

Code: Select all

GetWindowText>TEXT VERSION OF POSTAGE STATEMENT.TXT - Notepad,strText 
Pos>Standard,strText,1,posStandard
If>posStandard>0
  MessageModal>this is standard
Else
  MessageModal>not standard
Endif

Pos returns the position of a substring in another string. So if the result is zero there is no match, if positive the substring exists in the string.
