unselectable text

20 Jan 2019, 12:08

i want to copy unselectable text from a mmo game, its more like some dialog box when you press on a character and it appears on top so i want to copy specific part of what it says. is there any script can do that?

You can try WindowSpy.ahk. It's in the directory of the AutoHotkey program. c:\Program files\autohotkey\WindowSpy.ahk If you don't have AutoHotkey downloaded, get from here https://autohotkey.com/download/

The program can give you various kinds of information about the Window you are looking at.

Since it is a game, I doubt that it is a standard window - last resort might be some kind of OCR approach (but depending on the used font, it might not work well).
But then again... I have no clue about today's games ;)

thank you for the replies, someone told me it may work with reading memory address of the text so i just want to copy 6 numbers of the window (the only numbers in that window) and save them into the clipboard automatically or maybe just by moving the mouse on them then save them automatically. is that possible?

Post a small image of the numbers you want to get. Its likely that it can be gotten with OCR.

yeah it could be gotten by ocr, i tried capture2text it worked but i need a similar script with such functions like dragging the mouse and sending the text right to where the cursor blinks by ahk. i tried capture2text 3.9 it had many problems and didnt work
