How to invert Regex match operator when using it in ternary operators? Topic is solved

[Gary-Atlan82]

For example, the below, I want to check if the initial Thiswindow variable contains AHK_ID or A, if it does NOT then assign 111 else assign 000

The below, always assigns 111 to ThisWindow, I would like it to NOT in this case, cant the operator ~= not be inverted, like so !~= or even ~!=?

Code: Select all

ThisWindow := "Ahk_ID 0x12345"
ThisWindow := ThisWindow ~!= "Ahk_ID 0x" || ThisWindow != "A" ? "111"  : "000"
OutputDebug, %ThisWindow%

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Code: Select all

ThisWindow := "Ahk_ID 0x12345"
ThisWindow := !(ThisWindow ~= "Ahk_ID 0x") || ThisWindow != "A" 
    ? "111"
    : "000"
OutputDebug, %ThisWindow%

Just wrap parentheses and use ! to reverse true and false.
the !~= or ~!= operator ,I can't find it in the documentation , https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v1/Variables.htm#operators

Hallo,
try:

Code: Select all

ThisWindow := "Ahk_ID 0x12345"
ThisWindow := ThisWindow ~= "Ahk_ID|A" ? "000" : "111"
OutputDebug, %ThisWindow%

"Ahk_ID|A" means "Ahk_ID" or "A"
(or simpler: "A")

but its not equivalent to what he wrote originally. it would have to be

Code: Select all

ThisWindow ~= "Ahk_ID 0x|^(?i:A)$" ? "000" : "111"
