Testing Command Prompt window title with batch?
0
Can I test the title of a Command Prompt window?
I know that I can start a .bat file with a title:
start "idk_title" cmd /c ".idk_name.bat"
But is there a way that I can test it? Something like this:
if title == "idk_title" echo wow the title says idk.
batch batch-file

This powershell one liner wrapped in batch should do:
powershell -Nop -c "(([system.console]::title) -split ' - powershell')[0]"
To save it to a variable
:: Q:Test20181228SU_1388261.cmd
@Echo off
Title This is just a test text
for /f "usebackq delims=" %%A in (`
powershell -Nop -c "(([system.console]::title) -split ' - powershell')[0]"
`) do set "WindowTitle=%%A"
set WindowTitle
Sample output:
> Q:Test20181228SU_1388261.cmd
WindowTitle=This is just a test text
