The switch you need to close a query window is -m

You need the ^ prefix though.

thnx for the fast responding

I use something similar myself, to show query stats in the window when it's initiated. It doesn't need the ^ prefix at all.

To clarify, there are two ways of doing this:

1) on OPEN without the ^ prefix and /close -m, eg


2) on OPEN with the ^ prefix and /halt


The difference is that the first triggers just after the query window is opened, and uses /close -m to close it, thereby causing a flicker on screen, which may be significant if the "Iconify query window" option is not enabled.

The second method triggers before the query window is opened. Using /halt there stops it from opening. The latter method is obviously better as there's no flicker due to window opening/closing.

Of course, there is no need to use both /close -m and /halt in either case.

I used the first because it seemed he was counting query windows which may need to include the triggering query(?), otherwise I would've suggested using the ^ prefix. So assuming that he had his reasons, I just fixed the error in his code (the -m switch) rather than trying to improve it.
