I'am trying to find how to close a process using it's title.
I found the command:
taskkill /fi "WINDOWTITLE eq the_title_of_the_windows"
and it works great.
When I try:
oShell.Run "taskkill /fi "WINDOWTITLE eq the_title_of_the_windows"", , True
I get an error and it won't compile.
Any idea on how to use th symbole " in this line?
Answer
In order to use double quotation marks inside another pair of double quotation marks, you need to use "" instead of just ", because if you use one quotation mark " it will be considered the end of text between the first and the second quotation marks
So, your code should look like this:
oShell.Run "taskkill /fi ""WINDOWTITLE eq the_title_of_the_windows""", , True
The following example will terminate all processes with window title (Calculator):
Dim oShell
Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run "taskkill /fi ""WINDOWTITLE eq Calculator""", , True
Hope that helps :)
