Screen Scraping

843810Aug 31 2004 — edited Aug 31 2004
HI All,

I would like to know how to go about scraping information from a 3rd party desktop client window, that is talking to a remote server.

Specifiacally, it is the poker clients like the ones you download and run to play on say Party Poker. I want to write an application to scrape various information from ongoing games to an application I am attempting to write to process various game statistics.

I don't know if it would be better to scrape the graphics or can one mess with the socket comms?

I know this can and has already been done in various langauges, but i don't know how. If this is not possible in java, or would be better done in say .NET what would ppl suggest.?

Adam
