Find text on screen, then, else...

[mduffin]

I'd like to know if there is a way to have a script find text in the active window (it's a medical records program), and if it exists, then goto label, and if not, go to a different label..

I know some of the basics, but can't figure out the find text part..

When i run the example script for Text Capture it can see the text when i point to it..

In the past I've used the image tools (FindImagePos) to do something similar, but there doesn't seem to be a text recognition that works like the image tools.

Thanks for any help!

You can do something like:

GetWindowTextEx>window_title,text
Pos>text_to_find,text,1,p
If>p>0
//text was found in window
Else
//text not found in window
Endif

Thanks!
So I have this... but it just goes through to exit like it's not seeing the word..
I don't have a title for the window because it changes all the time, I hope that doesn't make it not look at the screen.
If the word Tanni is on screen I want it to run the script...

Label>Start

GetWindowTextEx>,text
Pos>Tanni,text,1,p
If>p>0
//text was found in window
Goto>Change


Else
//text not found in window
Goto>Exit

Endif


Label>Change
// Select and change old for new
Press F7
Wait>1
Press LShift
Press Down * 16
Wait>1
Release LShift
Wait>1
Press LCTRL
Wait>0.5
Send>v
Wait>0.2
Release LCTRL
Wait>2
Press Esc
Wait>1
Press Down
Wait>1
Press Enter

Goto>Start



Label>Exit
// Get out and go to the next one
Wait>1
Press Esc
Wait>1
Press Down
Wait>1
Press Enter

Goto>Start

GetWindowText requires a window title.

Instead of GetWindowText you can use GetTextInRect and specify a rectangular portion of the screen which could be the entire screen - or the active window - in which case you don't care what the title is you just use whatever is on the screen.

So the following gets the text from the active window:

Code: Select all

GetActiveWindow>wTitle,x,y,w,h
GetTextInRect>x,y,{%x%+%w%},{%y%+%h%},text

Pos>Tanni,text,1,p
If>p>0
 //Tanni found 
Else
 //Not found
Endif

Does it have to be exact Lower and Uppercase?
If yes then how to make the script to find text doesn't matter lower or uppercase...

[Grovkillen]

Usually you use the UpperCase>or LowerCase> commands to make them either uppercase or lowercase...
