Subject: Re: [Unicon-group] OT: Scraping data from Windows app screen
Okay.
Here's the situation. A group at work is already entering data into a
Windows-based application. Now they are also supposed to be putting in much
the same data into a 2nd terminal-based app.
So, I'm thinking there must be a way to pick up the data already entered into
the first app (i.e. through "scraping" from the 1st app's window) and
automatically place it into the 2nd app.
It could be a Unicon question if I can figure out how to do it - i.e. figure
out the 1st app's handle and use the api to pick up Window Text, field text,
etc. Or perhaps there's already an app in existence to do such. That's why I
titled it starting with OT.
Thanks, Steve

Steve,
Is this a Unicon question, or a question
about grabbing things from an external application? Mr. Sampson's suggestion
of an OCR utility sounds like a good fit for the latter, but I am not sure
that's the problem you are trying to solve. You might get more or different
answers from the group if we understand your context better.
Cheers,
Clint
