Finding specified text string on screen

14 Feb 2019, 15:34

OK what i am after here is little bit awkward.

I need to search my screen for a specific string of text, and then click the location of that text. However, the text is not selectable in any way so i can't use traditional forms of text finding, so instead i think i have to resort to OCR.
Although i have found many options for OCR in autohotkey, i have not been able to find any that-
1: search for a specific string and that will
2: return the coordinates of the matched text

If anyone knows of a way i can achieve this i would appreciate it greatly.
