I googled for this and found this link:  
http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t167359-how-to-extract-text-from-windows.html



It talks about Window api functions such as GetWindowText which can help.  When 
I grep'd the ipl and lower directories for it, the only hits were .exe 
routines.  So, I'm guessing that this api has been defined, but is not used in 
any sample programs in the ipl.

Any advice on how to use it?


Thanks again, Steve

Subject: [Unicon-group] OT:  Scraping data from Windows app screen


I need to pick up the text (field prompts and data) from a data entry 
screen.  Is there a utility which could do such?  An array of text by 
rows would be preferable, but other formats would likely suffice. 

Thanks, Steve
