Test window state, don't know how

[sungnee]

Hello everybody

I am really new to Macro programming and I am having difficulty understanding regular expressions and such.

I use Mail Washer to screen SPAMs before running my e-mail client. I want to automate it so that once it stops filtering, the SPAMs will be automatically deleted.

So, I have attached two images. "before" is before the filtering is completed; and "after" is after filtering has been completed. The difference lies in a line of text in the middle, saying "mail was last checked...ago". I want to test the presence of this string and if it's present, then the macro will proceed to the next stage, if not, then it loops back.

I don't understand what is meant by "handles", "child windows" and "regular expressions". So I'm having a hard time doing this.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all in advance.
