length(System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName()) always 1
Show older comments
Is detailed in the Title, in my code
n = 'photoshop' (used as example)
When Photoshop is closed:
System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(n)
Length: 0
...
System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName('photoshop')
Length: 0
...
length(System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(n))
ans = 1
length(System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName('photoshop'))
ans = 1
If Photoshop is open, all values listed change to / stay 1.
Honestly I'm utterly stuck. My main goal was to check whether a specific .exe was running. Maybe this code snippet isn't even neccessary but this seemed the most useful for me at this point. Any help is appreciated!
