Take Command V10 @WINPID suggestion.

[dcantor]

Here's what I found:

[C:\Program Files\JPSoft\TCMD10]echo %@winpid[Process Explorer*]
2244

That happens to be right. (It would be nice if the help file said that wild cards were allowed. )

[C:\Program Files\JPSoft\TCMD10]echo %@winpid[Process Explorer]
TCC: (Sys) The parameter is incorrect.
"%@winpid[Process Explorer]"
It would be better if @WINPID returned -1 if a window with a matching name is not found. Then it could be tested fairly easily as
SET MYWINPID=%@WINPID[My application title]
IF %MYWINPID LT 0 QUIT 3
or something like that.

I like most of the new features. (I don't dislike any of them.)

I look forward to a stable version -- I'll be able to remove a bunch of kludges I have in my batch files, mostly related to PIDs of other processes, testing if particular things are running, etc.

For some reason the above post was delivered to my mailbox as a single line
(lines wrapped only by my mail client). It wasn't posted by chance from a
*nix platform, was it?

Good heavens, no! For some reason I still don't understand, my first attempt to post resulted in the version you received by email. I edited it a few minutes later to one with real line breaks (though I don't know if everyone can see it that way). I wish we were using a newsgroup.
