Trying to check if a program is running & then (read mor

[RykerS]

Hello,

I was unable to find what I was looking for in the search on the site, so sorry in advance if I missed what may have already been answered.

I'm currently trying to run a compiled script on my desktop, and at the end of the script have it check if a certain program is running. If the program is not running, I would like it to run a few lines of code, but if the program is running. I would like to skip those lines of code and continue running the rest of the script.

I hope that was not too confusing, and if anyone could point me in the right direction or give me an example. It would be greatly appreciated!

As well if you need any other information I will be happy to provide it!

Thanks,

Here are a couple of examples.

This example checks if a process of a specified program exists. In this example I'm using Internet Explorer (iexplore.exe)

Code: Select all

ProcessExists>iexplore.exe,IEExists
If>IEExists=True
//Program (Internet Explorer) is running
'Your code here

Else
//Program (Internet Explorer) is not running
'Your code here

Endif

This example checks if the window of the specified program exists. Again, I'm using Internet Explorer in this example.

Code: Select all

IfWindowOpen> - Windows Internet Explorer*
//Program (Internet Explorer) is running
'Your code here

Else
//Program (Internet Explorer) is not running
'Your code here

Endif

I hope these examples point you in the right direction.
