Capturing info from Scrolling Screen

Keywords: screen scrape

Question:

How do I capture information from a scrolling screen?

Answer:

1. Highlight the information with SendKeysto (Easy if Select All is available from a Menu or use CTRL-A).

2. Copy via Sendkeysto.

3. Use ClipGet( ) to grab the string from clipboard.

4. StrIndex(string, substring, start, direction) to search the string for the sub-string.

This will only work if the information is not too large. If the file is too large to search the clipboard, copy the information to a file, .clp, .doc etc. and search for it in the file copied to. Generally, you can use the app's Save function to do this.
