GETPROCID(integer-expression)

Returns the process ID (PID) of a running process. The parameter is an index in the range 0 to GETPROCCOUNT - 1, identifying one of the active processes.

Examples

REM Print PID of every running process
FOR i = 0 TO GETPROCCOUNT - 1
    PRINT "Process "; i; " has PID "; GETPROCID(i)
NEXT

REM Get PID of the first process
pid = GETPROCID(0)
PRINT "PID[0] = "; pid

REM Find a process by PID
target = 123
found = FALSE
FOR i = 0 TO GETPROCCOUNT - 1
    IF GETPROCID(i) = target THEN
        PRINT "Process found at index "; i
        found = TRUE
    ENDIF
NEXT
IF found = FALSE THEN PRINT "Process not running"

Notes

Process IDs are unique identifiers assigned by the OS.
A PID remains valid until its process exits.
Passing an index outside 0 … GETPROCCOUNT - 1 raises an error.
Use together with GETPROCNAME$ or GETPROCCPUID for further process details.
