Interpreting Titletext
Most casinos show very valuable info in the titlebar, for example
Tournament 12345678 Table 5 – No Limit Hold’em – Blinds $600/$1200 Ante $75
Valuable informations in the example above (PokerStars) are:
the game-type: tournament (and no-limit)
the size of the blinds: $600 / $1200
the ante: $75
Besides of valuable info the titlestring comes with some technical benefits:
it is usually very reliable
it can be accessed easily with the Windows API (GetWindowText) and does not require any scraping.
Therefore OpenHoldem provides a way to interpret the titletext:

In the example above
“^*” followed by the constant string “- “ recognized and discards everything until it finds “- “ in the titlestring. This means the title-parser will skip “OpenHoldem Poker – ” because this data does not provide any useful info for us.
Again there follows a dummy that needs to be skipped. “^* – blinds ” will ignore everything until it finds “ – blinds ”.
Now comes the first interesting piece of data. “^s” expects a numerical value, here “5” that will be interpreted as the size of the small blind.
“/” is a constant string that will be ignored. In our exaple it separates small-blind from big blind.
Finally “^b” works similar like “^s”: it expects a numerical value too and interprets it as the size of the big-blind.
