Full Discussion: Wildcard with xdotool
Operating Systems Linux Ubuntu Wildcard with xdotool Post 303031754 by stomp on Tuesday 5th of March 2019 09:51:03 AM

xdotool search works like this:

Code:
xdotool search --name "title-string"
16777957

The output is one ore more numbers(one per line), each representing a window-id or nothing if no window is found with the wanted specification. So one can use the solution presented with slight changes:

Code:
windowID=$(xdotool search --name "title-string")
xdotool key --window $windowID alt+F4

If necessary check if the number of results is what is expected.(Exact 1 result?)

Consult the manpage for xdotool for important and further details: Linux Manpages Online - man.cx manual pages
