#include <windows.h>



//From http://www.richelbilderbeek.nl/CppCloseWindowsWithInText.htm

void CloseWindowsWithInText(const std::string& s)

{

  HWND handle = GetWindow(GetForegroundWindow(),GW_HWNDFIRST);

  while (handle)

  {

    const int sz = 256;

    char buffer[sz];

    GetWindowText(handle,buffer,sz);

    const std::string text(buffer);

    if ( std::search(text.begin(),text.end(),s.begin(),s.end()) != text.end() )

    {

      CloseWindow(handle);

    }

    handle = GetNextWindow(handle,GW_HWNDNEXT);

  }
