saving window titles as varibles, how do i do it?

[Killerworm51]

Ok, first I want to get my script to save the active windows title as new_title

then i want the script to check if new_title=old_title and if it does then it goes back to the start of the script (@start)

then i want it to get the name of the active window and save the title of it as new_title.



thanks

You want to use the GetActiveWindow> command.

This will get the name of the currently active window and store it in a variable. You can optionally include variables for the width and height also. You can also use LET>GAW_TYPE=1 to get the name of the active child window. Default for GAW_TYPE=0 so you will normally get the name of the active parent window.

Basic sample of comparing windows:

Label>Stuff
GetActiveWindow>Window1
Wait>300
GetActiveWindow>Window2
If>%Window1%=%Window2%,Start,NotSame

Label>NotSame
Do Other Stuff
....
....

Label>End

Thank you for trying to help, but it thinks that window1 and window2 are the same :S

ill post my script, basically it just clicks a link to go to a random picture on a website and then comments on it. the windows title is always in the format of "WebsitesName: *Name of picture here*" so the name of the website is always in the title bar. When I use GAW and then get it to type out the name of the window it gives me '0'

"••" is just notes trying to help you understand my script
