OCRing for text, dependent on outcome copy file to folder

[BlackDevilDisco]

Hehe, yes it may sound wierd. But im trying to get Macro Scheduler to OCR my .bmp file, if it finds the text "Error", it should move the .bmp to a folder. And more advanced, if it does not find "Error", it goes to the next line and searches for "Log", and moves that file to another folder ...

From this article: http://www.mjtnet.com/usergroup/viewtopic.php?t=4147 i found my script start:

VBStart
Function DoOCR(bitmapfile)
Dim miDoc
Dim miLayout
Dim stringOut

set miDoc=CreateObject("MODI.Document")
miDoc.Create (bitmapfile)
' Perform OCR.
'You can change the mousepointer here to an hourglass or something.
miDoc.Images(0).OCR
'Change the mouse back to normal default.
set miLayout = miDoc.Images(0).Layout
stringOut=miLayout.Text
'MsgBox(stringOut)
DoOCR = stringOut
Set miLayout = Nothing
Set miDoc = Nothing
End Function
VBEND

/*
//This example OCRs entire screen

//Capture Entire Screen to bitmap
GetScreenRes>x,y
ScreenCapture>0,0,x,y,%TEMP_DIR%\~scrn.bmp

//Use OCR to get text from screen
VBEval>DoOCR("%TEMP_DIR%\~scrn.bmp"),TheText

//Display text
MessageModal>TheText

*/

//This example OCRs just the active window
GetActiveWindow>title,X,Y,W,H
ScreenCapture>x,Y,{%X%+%W%},{%Y%+%H%},%TEMP_DIR%\~scrn.bmp

//Use OCR to get text from active window
VBEval>DoOCR("%TEMP_DIR%\~scrn.bmp"),TheText

//Display the text
MessageModal>TheText


The problem as i see it is to script it to look for a specific text, and this script OCRs the whole bmp. Is it required that Macro Scheduler must ocr everything, then look for the text i define, and then proceed?

Hi BlackDevilDisco,

This may help:

MODI returns an array of the words it OCR'd and their coordinate positions within the bitmap file. In the example in the URL the script finds the coordinates of a word, moves the mouse to that location, then clicks on it. You could modify it to do other things.
