getwintext help

[QM_Expert]

Hello, im trying to use this code to getwintext of a window then subtract part of it and OSD the part thats left but i have no idea how i would do this, this is all ive come up with so far and is far from working...thanks in advance.

Code:

Copy      Help

str s.getwintext(win("Quick Macros"))
str x = "Quick Macros - "
s-x
OnScreenDisplay s

A normal QM window says Quick Macros - File Name Here

I want it to subtract the Quick Macros - part and OSD the part thats left which would be the file name, hope this is possible Thanks!

Look up "get" for a refernce in the QM help.

Code:

Copy      Help

str s.getwintext(win("Quick Macros"))
s.get(s 14)
OnScreenDisplay s

How would i go about to only get the text needed, im trying to cut it short by 1 letter at the end. its not for the window name but child text.

my example

"Thank you for choosing to stay with us at"

str s.getwintext(id(5434 "Exit"))
s.get(s 15)
out s

using that Im left with the " at the end and dont need it how would i go about to taking it out.
using this method if possible. ty

s.fix(s.len-1)

or

s.get(s 0 s.len-1)
