Screen Scraper Tool

Hi everyone...

I was wondering if anyone out there knows what language to use if I wanted to build a screen scraper tool. Basically, the idea behind this tool is to extract data from an existing third party interface and display it in another.
I imagine that it would require C++, Perl or something completely different but I am not sure. Can anyone guide me in the right direction please, if possible?


Thanks,
SK

i assume you are talking about on a windows os to grab data from other windows. definately c/c++ or any other language that has ways to use api functions (such as vb6 .net python)
it'd be easiest to access these functions from c though.

a function you will definately want to look at is FindWindow
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/windowing/windows/windowreference/windowfunctions/findwindow.asp
You can use that to get a window handle so you can then get its child windows and extract text.
Also GetWindowText will take text from the specified window handle into a char array.
