I am looking for a screen scrape utility to get the text from a program. No, this is not like the screen scrapes that are used in the web-programming where you can get dynamic updates from weather.com, for example.

I have used AutoIt's "Reveal Mode," but does not get what I need.. I think Robin Keir has a util too.. Maybe "Windowse"?

Hmmm..

Would a "Mark-1 Eyeball" work? [Wink]

Or maybe ShoWin from foundstone.com in the free tools section?

I purchased this one myself. Not much it can't capture. It even captures DVD output which most utilities can't seem to do.

HyperSnap-DX 5
http://www.hyperionics.com/hsdx/index.asp

HyperSnap-DX 5 is a screen capture and image editing tool for Windows. Captures screens from standard desktop programs and hard-to-grab DirectX/Direct3D, Voodoo and Glide mode games. The program can auto-scroll and concurrently capture long web pages and other documents, enabling it to grab more than is visible on the screen. Can also resize and capture entire windows much bigger than the screen on Windows XP. The program integrates with the Windows clipboard, and has new painting and editing features, too.

Kent,
Did you get my email about the DB stuff?

Doc,

Yes.. I did get your e-mail. Looks like a great site. I apreciate your feedback on this. AutoIT, Windowse, Showin, etc. all want to try to grab sectional views of the program. I just want to select the windows text.. Maybe I need to get SUSE running with WINE and go that route.

Kent,
You haven't mentionned what app's screen you need to scrape. I have been able to scrape screens with VBA with VBA-enabled apps.

If it displays an HTML page and you're interested in the displayed text, then you can just parse the source code file. Thus, a job for KiXtart [Big Grin]

Right.. It is not HTML. It is a VB/C#/.NET kinda thrown together in one app.
