data capture from screen

[Mohan]

Hi
Is there a way to capture the data from a DOS like screen (3rd party
software) without connecting to the database. May be using the coordinate
system / copying data to clip board and searching for specific string ect.?

The screen size and pixel / resolution will be consistent for all users.
The data will always be dispayed on a specific coordinate on the screen all
the time. The filed lengths are fixed as well.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Mohan

I would look for capturing data from the standard input (stdin) or changing
where the stdin comes from.
Google: stdin source Windows
Hit: WINDOWS Clipboard: send/receive text from/to DOS by redirection.
Country specific character conversion. Win 95/98 only.
