    JScript sucks compared to Javascript. 

    Edit : okay okay. There's nothing with Jscript. But we'll need TestComplete to upgrade the compiler for their JScript to match their Javascript implementation.

     

    BUT, that's spilled milk and we shall overcome.

     

    In jscript, FindAllChildren returns not an array-like-object but some other kind of ... thing (aka multi-dimensional VB array)

     

    So:

     

     

    function findProc(name) {
   return Sys.FindAllChildren(["ProcessName"],[name],1).toArray()
}

     

     

    function findExcel(index) {
  var arr = findProc("EXCEL")
  for ( var i = 0 ; i < arr.length ; i++) {
    if (arr[i].Index === index) {
      return arr[i]
    }
  }
}

So the code works to an extent. I'm using JSCript which is practically Javascript but for some reason it's not allowing me to use Filters and returns an error Message.

 

I've uploaded a screenshot of what works but the process in the array returns all array's as Undefined. It also crashes around the point of Array.isArray(arr);

 

I have to removed the isArray clause but then it doesn't log anything.

 

Not sure what I can do about the arr.filter since it keeps crashing and I don't know what to replace it with.

    Nice this works. 

     

    I agree JScript isn't the best because I am limited to trying to convert Javascript to Jscript when I need to find a sample of something.

     

    But the environment was already setup as JScript and changing it now after all the work I've put in will set me back several months.

      No problem!

       

      I was teasing a bit about JScript.

       

      As soon as they port over like the latest IE compiler for JScript you'll be all caught up :)
