winexist(string include variable)

[smbs]

This works as desired

Code: Select all

 ifwinnotexist, win-name-%1%

however

Code: Select all

if !WinExist("win-name-" %1%)

does not give correct output

have tried

Code: Select all

if !WinExist("win-name-" .  %1%)

without success

Pls give me the correct syntax
Many thanx

Code: Select all

if !WinExist("win-name-" 1)

Hallo,
I tried:

Code: Select all

q::Run, "new 8.ahk" 1

with

Code: Select all

; new 8.ahk
ifwinnotexist, win-name-%1%
	MsgBox,A not
Else
	MsgBox,A yes
if !WinExist("win-name-" %1%)
	MsgBox,B not
Else
	MsgBox,B yes

Both versions detect whether win-name-1.txt
exists or not

[just me]

Code: Select all

if !WinExist("win-name-" .  A_Args[1])

?

[smbs]

Code: Select all

; notworking.ahk
SetTitleMatchMode, 3
run,notepad.exe
sleep,3000
;WinActivate,Untitled - Notepad
;sleep,3000
winsettitle,Untitled - Notepad,,Untitled - Notepad-%1% 
ifwinnotexist, Untitled - Notepad-%1%
	MsgBox,A not
Else
	MsgBox,A yes
if !WinExist("Untitled - Notepad-" %1%)
	MsgBox,B not
Else
	MsgBox,B yes

run, notworking.ahk test
the output of file above is not consistent
I get A yes B not
Pls note that I use SetTitleMatchMode, 3 which I require in my actual script
Thanx
