Hi,

Is it possible to get the "&" symbol to be accepted by the search ifinstring.

ifEqual would also work. The string is "&Local" and I just want to verify that some or all of the string is there to verify that a window is active (that has the same title as all the other windows in the printer wizard).

The error is below:


Error: This variable or function name contains an illegal character. The current thread will exit.

Specifically: &Local

Line#
030: }
031: Else
032: {
033: Send,{enter}
034: WinWaitActive,Add Printer Wizard
035: WinGetText,local_printer
036: StringLeft,window2,local_printer,6
---> 037: IfInString,%window2%,"Local"
038: {
039: MsgBox,The script has not found window (2) in the printer wizard
040: }
041: Else
042: {
043: Send,!l
044: PixelGetColor,window2_untick_auto_detect,70,153

Any other advice on how to tidy up the script would also be nice,

Thanks,

Staid.

Please try
IfInString, window2, Local

OK. This line works:

ifinstring, window2, "Local"

Thanks toralf.
