Hi, am new to Dark basic and have a question if i may What i am trying to do is run a web based program in a window on its own , this program has a its own sub window where numbers appear, what i would like to do is for dark basic to grab them/OCR them, screen scrape or whatever into a varible so that i can process this data,, inside of DB.

Or, is there a 3rd party program that would read the other program, convert it into numbers, straight into DB or maybe export the data to the windows clipboard then is it possible to read this into DB?
Any help would be appreciated also, as this would be an interesting project for some one, i am willing to pay via papal or other method for a working solution to these problems. Thanks for your time.

Seems so, it looks like he wants to bypass image verification (CAPTCHAs). There is a way, using image trawling. And I think google were inventing a search method that also indexed text in images, therefore allowing you to read the captcha code. Use google you'll probably find out more than I know.
