SetTitleMatchMode, Regex

[euras]

Why IfWinExist or WinActivate works with SetTitleMatchMode, Regex while Winwait doesn't work? It must share the same principles, but for some reasons it doesn't work or I cannot find how to force it to work..

Code: Select all

SetTitleMatchMode, Regex
IfWinExist, Privat ITP file.*1
	WinWait, Privat ITP file.*2 ; the code just skips that line, doesn't react to winwait or winwaitactive. I want to force the tool wait until the new file will appear.
; the full name of file can be Privat ITP file (2015)2 - Excel or Privat ITP file (2015)1 - Excel

anybody?

anybody?

can you use winwaitactive instead?

Maybe you need the window criteria to be a little more specific:
Privat ITP file (2015)1 - Excel
Privat ITP file (2015)2 - Excel
Both of your original window criteria, match both of those window titles, because the number 2015 contains both 1 and 2. Perhaps this will work:

Code: Select all

SetTitleMatchMode, RegEx
IfWinExist, Privat ITP file.*1 -
	WinWait, Privat ITP file.*2 -

for some reasons this method works..

Code: Select all

if (t = 1 or t = 2){
      SetTitleMatchMode, Regex
      IfWinNotExist, Privat flyttefil.*1
      {
         SetTitleMatchMode, Regex
         WinWait, Privat flyttefil.*1
      }
      SetTitleMatchMode, Regex
      IfWinExist, Privat flyttefil.*1
      {
         SetTitleMatchMode, Regex
         WinWait, Privat flyttefil.*2
      }
   }
