The development version of GNU Screen has -Q flag which may be used to query results of some commands. Also there is -X flag for sending arbitrary commands to a session, e.g. "screen -p 1 -Q title" will yield the title of window 1. Unfortunately, sending commands to every window separately is much slower than using "at" command. <shameless auto-promotion> If you are willing to compile Screen on your own you might as well install screen-session https://github.com/skoneka/screen-session/downloads and grep "screen-session dump" output for window titles. </shameless auto-promotion> On Sun, 5 Feb 2012, Adrian Fita wrote:
I want to send commands to a selection of open windows in screen. The command to do that is the "at" command, but it doesn't allow a sufficiently flexible syntax for selecting the windows to which to send the commands. I can't match something like a list, let's say I want to send the command to the windows numbered 1,3,4,6,10, or match a range of numbers, ex: 3-9 or select the windows based on the titles like "*string" (supposing you have some windows titled with "string" at the end). The most flexible way to match the windows for now is naming the windows with the same string in the front. Also, the documentation is lacking in clearly describing what is the syntax of the "identifier" parameter is.
