The "numbers" are the size of the buffer, but you could've easily looked that one up on MSDN. "%d" means decimal. It's the format thingie for signed and unsigned decimal numbers I thought, might wanna check that.

%d is just a format character for format strings used by print and scan functions. Check it out

In my code it's the window handle. A "window pointer" as it were, for Windows.

can anyone explain why this code does not do what it's supposed to? im new to this C++ thing and im just "shocked" of its broadness and stuff. this code is supposed to find a browser, in this case, firefox, get its text and for clarity and just to be sure if it was spelled right or something, outputted to a text file.

  FStream << windowtitle << "\n";
  }
  return 1;
}

i just copied the code from clockowl yet in the part where i try to find the firefox if(windowclass=="MozillaUIWindowClass") part, it cannot find firefox. i tested it with the "!=" in place of "==" and there was firefox along with the other classes not equal to MozillaUIWindowClass. it seems that there is some error in the comparison which i cannot get.
