Copy file name from inactive window title Topic is solved

[timoshina]

Hello guys! I've been working on a my script and I'm stuck at its final stage. .
I have a program in which I import a file example.jpg, do a bunch of actions and export it as example.png (file has to have same name). This program in a "save as" window, leaves the file name box empty for some reason, in which I have to type "example" & click the save button. In a background I have main program's window which has this title: (note title changes to the below name as soon as save as dialog appears)
C:\Users\timoshina\Desktop\DONE\example.jpg ahk_class Afx:40000010003:6:18f00bb ahk_exe Program.exe
How can I copy only the "example" from the inactive window's title?
Here is the part of a code:

Code: Select all

#h:: ; test hotkey
SetTitleMatchMode, RegEx

WinWaitActive, Save As ahk_class #32770
IfWinExist, ahk_class Afx:400000:b:10003:6:

; copy file name without extention to clipboard

Send ^v
controlclick, Button2, Save As ahk_class #32770

return

First you would do

WinGetTitle, OutVar, Save As ahk_class #32770

Next you will use regex on OutVar (My guess was that everything until the filename.jpg stays the same.

RegExMatch(OutVar, "(?<=C:\\Users\\timoshina\\Desktop\\DONE\\).+?(?=\.jpg)", results)

clipboard := % results

There might be shorter ways to do this but this is what I would try

One way:

Code: Select all

q:: ;get active window title (a path is expected), split path to get name/name no ext
WinGetTitle, vWinTitle, A
SplitPath, vWinTitle, vName, vDir, vExt, vNameNoExt, vDrive
MsgBox, % vName
MsgBox, % vNameNoExt
return

Holy hotkeys, dude! Thank you! It's so simple when you know it :0)

Thanks for the try. You helped me with "clipboard := %"
