   array string winList = explode ( "\r", windowNames); 
   int i,k = sizeof (winList); 
   for (i = 1, k)

      if (pos(winList[i], match) >= 0) then

The GetMatchingWindowName function

If you have several open windows in filemaker, and the windows have names like "Order 123456", and you want the title of the window independent of what the order number is, you can use this function to get the full title just having "Order " as parameter. Then you can select that window name using its full title.
