Solved How do I distinguish 2 equal named processes?

Hi guys,

I need a little help here. I have written a trainer for a game but now I have a problem. How do I force the trainer to only write or read memory from the first opened process of the game?
Everytime I open a new process of my game the trainer switches reading/writing from/to the new process.
How can I force the trainer to use only the first process opened?

As Szaka stated, with Process ID (PID)

Maybe you could just do Process.GetProcessByName("X.exe")[0] (in C#)..

Not quite sure if that will work though..

So it means that trainer doesnt know which window should he work with, so user has to make the choice, best is with PID i guess

I think you mean me, I said that.. But I deleted my post because I just opened 2 calculators and the 2nd one is smaller then the first one and they're somehow just random..

they're somehow just random..

They are random, it's just they are unique in a sense that no running process has the same id has another. And no I didn't mean you because I didn't see you mentioning it anywhere..

As I said, I posted it but then checked whether it was like I said and it wasn't. And I didn't want to give him a wrong suggestion, therefor I deleted it.

//How do I check the processID or how do I close the unwanted process if found?

Edit: Thanks for the help I will try this now.

Edit2: Still cant get it working. How did you guys do it?

Yep.
My brother just helped me out a little bit xD
The problem is solved:

int ProcessCount = 0;
Process[] procList = Process.GetProcesses();
foreach (Process p in procList)
{
    if (p.ProcessName.ToString() == "abc123") ProcessCount += 1;
    if (ProcessCount == 2)
    {
        p.Kill();
        ProcessCount -= 1;
    }
}
