How to output a list of window titles in a console window?

Is there a way to output a list of running window titles to the command window?

I know that it's possible to filter based on window title using tasklist /FI. But is it possible to display a column of all window titles?

TaskList will provide the image name, but I'm looking for the name as it appears in the task manager under the applications tab.

Create a batch called Windows-Open.cmd
and put the follwing command inside:

TASKLIST /v /fo list |find /i "window title" |find /v "N/A"

There are a few refinements we can yet do... but for me its enough,,, simple,,, lean &% mean...

  • you can easy derive from there, for example: Windows-noTitle.cmd etc. etc.

Stay good...

The command posted by Ir Relevant is good. But it must be adapted according to version and language of Windows.

For example the command for execution in a command prompt window on a German Windows XP is:

for /f "tokens=2,*" %a in ('tasklist.exe /fo list /v ^| find.exe "Fenstertitel:"') do @if not "%a %b"=="Nicht verfügbar" echo %a %b

And for usage in a batch file each % must be duplicated:

@echo off
for /f "tokens=2,*" %%a in ('tasklist.exe /fo list /v ^| find.exe "Fenstertitel:"') do @if not "%%a %%b"=="Nicht verfügbar" echo %%a %%b

Attention!
German umlaut ü must be an OEM encoded ü with decimal code value 129 in the batch file instead of an ANSI encoded ü with decimal code value 252.

Do you mean something like this?

for /f "tokens=3,*" %a in ('tasklist /fo list /v ^| find "Window Title"') do @if not "%a"=="N/A" echo %a %b
