Listen for pop-up and close it using windows batch file
Windows batch files are not well-suited for listening for events like pop-ups, as they are designed for simple script execution and lack built-in capabilities for event handling. However, you can use other scripting languages like PowerShell or VBScript to achieve this. Here's an example using PowerShell to close a specific pop-up window:
powershell$wshell = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
# Wait for the pop-up window to appear (replace "Notepad" with the window title you want to close)
$windowTitle = "Notepad"
$window = $null
while (-not $window) {
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 500
$window = Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.MainWindowTitle -eq $windowTitle }
}
# Close the pop-up window
$wshell.AppActivate($window.Id)
$wshell.SendKeys("%{F4}")
Save the above code in a file with a .ps1
extension (e.g., close_popup.ps1
). To run the PowerShell script from a batch file, you can use the following command:
batchpowershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "C:\path\to\close_popup.ps1"
Replace "C:\path\to\close_popup.ps1"
with the actual path to your PowerShell script.
Please note that the above solution is specific to closing a pop-up window with a known title (in this case, "Notepad"). If you need to handle more complex scenarios, you may need to use more advanced techniques or consider using a different scripting language that provides better event handling capabilities.
