Closing the Rescript console output window by script

[Steviebone]

I need a function that closes the ReaScript console output window in lua. I found an example that closes the ReaConsole window and tried to adapt it but couldn't make it work. What's wrong with this code?

local hwnd = reaper.JS_Window_Find('ReaScript console output', true)
if hwnd then reaper.JS_Window_Destroy(hwnd) end

this is working now, have no idea what was going on...

What had happened when it did not work?

Btw, when using Ultraschall-Api, you can use CloseReaScriptConsole:

I'm not 100% sure because I moved on but I think it was because there was a lot of windows open and the wrong one may have been in focus when I was compiling and the script was not actually recompiling? Maybe the file was opened somewhere already? When I closed all the superfluous windows and made sure the correct window was in focus and hit control-S it saved and recompiled and ran without incident. Probably user error

I'm constantly trying to balance time between the technical aspects of studio work and actual playtime. It can be a difficult juggling act. Sometimes I'm probably too impatient when coding and I may already be tired from a long day.

I'm going to have to check out that API though... Thanks for reminding me about that! And for your response.
