Question to Rick: why do you want to extract the data into a log and then from there to a spreadsheet? Why not fill the spreadsheet in as you go? -- You received this question notification because your team Sikuli Drivers is an answer contact for Sikuli. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~sikuli-driver Post to : sikuli-driver@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~sikuli-driver More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Question #439172 on Sikuli changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/439172 Status: Open => Answered RaiMan proposed the following answer: If it is a normal webpage (no Flash), then using Selenium is much more suitable than SikuliX, to extract content from the page. If needed, you might mix both packages. With SikuliX reading text from an image is possible but still rather weak. nevertheless you might give it a try. your questions: at 1. if Python is ok for you, then the IDE is ok for getting used to SikuliX and make the first steps. PyCharm or Eclipse/PyDev could later be used, if things get more complex. The resulting scripts should then be run from command line in regular production. at 2. Region.text() at 3: standard Python file I/O at 4: principally possible, but should not be used in your case for bulk data transfer. at 5: yes. With task scheduler the script has to run in admin context to be allowed to act on the screen. -- You received this question notification because your team Sikuli Drivers is an answer contact for Sikuli. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~sikuli-driver Post to : sikuli-driver@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~sikuli-driver More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Sikuli-driver] [Question #439172]: Automated data extract and external text file logging
New question #439172 on Sikuli: https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/439172 Hello, I'm working on a project where we are logging into a web application and want to use SikuliX to extract data, log it into a text file and then import it into a spreadsheet running as a scheduled task. My questions are: 1. Would this task be best performed in the IDE? or is there another more efficient method? 2. What's the best way to extract data from a browser? screenshot? region? 3. How can I extract the data into a local log.txt file? 4. Can I use SikuliX to read the text file and copy/paste it to another location? For example, an excel spreadsheet 5. Ideally I would like the script to be automated so we can set it up as a scheduled task in Windows Server 2012. Is it possible to run the script using a batch file with command line arguments? I know there are a lot of moving parts to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
