This is my first script.

I am trying to learn how to use GroupAdd.

I want to close all the windows whose titles include keywords passed into the script from the command line.

Code:

SetTitleMatchMode, 2
loop %0%
{
     GroupAdd, ToBeClosed, %a_index%
}
WinClose, ahk_group ToBeClosed


"autohotkey.exe thiscript.ahk Calculator Calendar Word"

But this doesn't seem to work. I'll appreciate your hints and suggestions.

Andrzej

Your usage of GroupAdd is fine.. but the A_Index in your loop is literally converting to be the number of the current loop iteration. If you use it as an expression it would work. Smile
Code:
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
Loop, %0%
  GroupAdd, ToBeClosed, % %A_Index%    ; <-- the contents of the var N
WinClose, ahk_group ToBeClosed

Many thanks freakkk for your help. It does work, indeed.

However, I must be missing something аbout loops because when I try to use the same pattern for stopping Windows services:

Code:
Loop, %0%
    Run, %comspec% /c net stop % %a_index%
return


I get the following error when executing "autohotkey.exe thisScript.ahk Mysql Apache2" from the command line:
Quote:
the following variable name contains an illegal character: "". The program will exit.




Could you give me a hint, please?
