Winkill

[Sanchopanza888]

Hi guys,

 

             i expect you're ok. i need your help. i need to kill or close a window but when i use winkill n put a part of the name it does not work, i had to put the exactly the beginning of the name in order to work. anybody know how to replace the the name with a variable or date to kill the window?

The scrip is the following

winkill("15_05_2017")
 

thanks in advance

Take a look at ProcessClose in the help file, you can kill the process rather than closing the window (assuming you don't have multiple Excel files open).

Take a look on the WinTitleMatchMode option. I think that's what you're looking for.

Usage:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", $iMode)
; or (alias):
AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", $iMode)

Where $iMode is:

• 1 = (default) Match the title from the start (my notes: this is why you had to put the exact begining of the window name)
• 2 = Match any substring in the title (perhaps this is not what you want? or even a case insensitive one: -2)
• 3 = Exact title match
• 4 = Advanced mode (retained for backwards compatibility only - see Window Titles & Text (Advanced))
• -1 to -4 = Case insensitive match according to the other type of match.
