I'm pretty sure the ExcludeText parameter of all windowing commands has always been broken. Does anyone actually use this, or can you envision any realistically likely use for it? I'm debating whether to remove it entirely or fix it.

Here is what it's supposed to do: "Windows whose text include this value will not be considered."

One of the main potential uses is for window groups: it would allow a class of windows (such as a text editor) to exclude individual windows that contain a key phrase in their window text.

I haven't used it in any of my scripts, but it is a nice option to have. I just haven't ran into any situations where I could use it.

i haven't used it either...

but it'd make sense to also mail this post of urs on the mailing list to get more user opinion.

i know how much backward compatability matters to u.
