My Google-fu is weak on this question. I keep getting lots of hits on web scraping, but my interest is actually as follows:
I find myself doing the same boring, repetitive tasks by hand, which amounts to copying certain information from one program and putting it into other programs. None of these programs, to my knowledge, have a publicly accessible API. Are there ways to programmatically accurately click the right buttons (or check boxes, radio buttons, etc.), copy desired fields and then switch to another program and paste the desired information into the desired fields, accurately clicking all things that need to be clicked, etc.? This is mostly a Windows-based scenario, but if the techniques (if they exist) can be abstracted to any OS I can find plenty of uses elsewhere as well! TIA!
