  var ij = 432;
}


function GetProcessList(processName)
{
  var p, i;
  var processList = [];
  for (i = 0; i < Sys.ChildCount; i++)
  {
    p = Sys.Child(i);
    if( aqString.Compare(p.ProcessName, processName, false) === 0)
    {
      processList.push(p);
    }
  }
  
  return processList;
}

    above is the code I ended up with and I guess it works pretty good. It's not too slow. Thanks.
