You can't.

Use EnumWindows() to loop through all available windows, calling
GetWindowText() on each one and then comparing it as needed. When you find
a match, return it via the callback's lParam value. For example:

BOOL CALLBACK FindWindowWithExpr(HWND hwnd, LPARAM lParam)
{
TCHAR szText[256] = {0};
GetWindowText(hWnd, szText, 255);

if (szText matches your regular expression)
{
*((HWND*) lParam) = hWnd;
return FALSE;
}

reutrn TRUE;
}

{
HWND hWnd = NULL;
EnumWindows((WNDENUMPROC)&FindWindowWithExpr, (LPARAM)&hWnd);
if (hWnd != NULL)
...
}
