Hi Michael

Thanks a lot for giving me a push in the right direction.
A slight change to your suggestion gave me the wanted:

namePrefix=File.nameWithoutExtension
selectWindow(namePrefix + '-0001');

Hence now it can be any name, instead of a "known" name, but again thanks
for the guiding.

Sincerely
Kristian
