[Wtr-general] Lists question

[Attebery, Bill]

I didn't fully understand the syntax -- but reading it closer I see what
you mean now.
I read it reversed -- do block unless window contains Internet Explorer
(thus skipping all the IE windows) but it was really next (or skip)
block unless window contains Internet Explorer (thus only acting on IE
windows).

I'm clueless as to why it worked when I flipped the logic (on non-modal
IE windows at least, couldn't get modals to work) and doesn't work at
all for me the other way!?  I think I'll do some more digging.  If you
have some specific diagnostic code you'd like me to try, please forward.

Thanks

		I made some time to do some digging into the code
(1.5.1.1054) and discovered this in the IE::_find method
		class IE
		...
		    def self._find(how, what)
		      shell = WIN32OLE.new("Shell.Application")
		      ieTemp = nil
		      shell.Windows.each do |window|
		      next unless (window.path =~ /Internet Explorer/
rescue false) 

		
		Thanks for digging in to the code and sharing what you
found. It's hard for me to understand where the logic error would be in
this code, however. I accept that you changed it and it worked, but the
=~ operator will return a number (= true) if there is a match, other
wise nil (= false). Thus that line should skip ahead to the next window
unless it is an Internet Explorer window. So it sounds right to me.
