ProcessList() with partial process name

[mihaijulien]

Is there a way to retrieve a

ProcessList("[name]")

having as parameter only a part of the name?

I don't know if that's possible with that function. Can you explain a little more what you're trying to do? Maybe we can suggest another way to go about it.

The fastest way is to check it yourself with a little test script

mihjijulien,

A simple example, no wild cards, no error checking...

#include <array.au3>

_ArrayDisplay(_MyProcessList('xplor'))

Func _MyProcessList($str)

    Local $alist = ProcessList(), $ret
    For $1 = 0 To UBound($alist) - 1
        If StringInStr($alist[$1][0], $str) Then $ret &= $alist[$1][0] & '|'
    Next

    Return StringSplit(StringTrimRight($ret, 1), '|')

EndFunc   ;==>_MyProcessList

edit: just dick'in around...another way...

Func _MyProcessList2($str)

    Local $list = _ArrayToString(ProcessList())
    Return StringRegExp($list, '(.*' & $str & '.*)\|', 3)

EndFunc   ;==>_MyProcessList2

That was exactly what I was looking for. I thought that there was something built-in but those 2 functions are the way to do it.

Thank you.
