@SNAPSHOT?

[vefatica]

I have UpdateTitle=No and TITLEPROMPT=%[_4ver]$s$s[%_pid]$s$s$p.
How do I get a snapshot of the console? These fail:

p:\4sysutils> echo %@snapshot["%_wintitle"]
TCC: (Sys) The parameter is incorrect.
 "%@snapshot["17.00  [5956]  p:\4sysutils"]"

p:\4sysutils> echo %@snapshot["%_wintitle",1]
TCC: (Sys) The parameter is incorrect.
 "%@snapshot["17.00  [5956]  p:\4sysutils",1]"

Not reproducible; it's working here. (Including with "%_wintitle".)

The only time @snapshot returns a "parameter is incorrect" result is if it can't find the window. @snapshot also supports fuzzy matching or a PID instead of a window title. Try it with %_pid.

It works with =%_PID but I get an image of a console with the caption "foo" (apparently left over from about an hour ago when I tried

title foo & echo %@snapshot["%_winntitle"]

Do you use both SetWindowText and SetConsoleTitle in various places (and they do the same thing)?

ACTIVATE can find "%_wintitle". Here's the whole thing again.

v:\> option UpdateTitle
UpdateTitle=No

v:\> set titleprompt
%[_4ver]$s$s[%_pid]$s$s$p

v:\> echo %_wintitle
17.00  [6844]  v:\

v:\> echo %@snapshot["%_wintitle",1]
TCC: (Sys) The parameter is incorrect.
 "%@snapshot["17.00  [6844]  v:\",1]"

v:\> echo %@snapshot[%_wintitle,1]
TCC: (Sys) The parameter is incorrect.
 "%@snapshot[17.00  [6844]  v:\,1]"
