Run file

[Johell]

Hi,
Is it possible to open a file not knowing the exact name, but knowing a part of the name?

Loop, Files allows to use basic matchpatterns (* and ?).
If you find something, you will have to decide if you want to use the first match, or determine a best match (on some criteria you have in mind).

A "fuzzy search" would be more complicated I guess.

I've read the guide but can't figure out how to achieve my goal, I'm new to AHK.
Could you give me a code example that launches the first file it finds that contains the string "capital2" in the name?

Code: Select all

loop, Files, C:\Temp\*capital2* ; put the actual path to your folder
{
	Run, % A_LoopFileFullPath
	break ; stops after first one
}

Thanks
