Any help here would be appreciated. FYI, I have some C++ experience, and I've started dabbling in Java. I'm a SAS programmer by trade though.
I'm attempting to automate a multi-step process involving:
-capturing a 1 inch by 2 inch screen area in an application -writing some Java (or whatever applies best) code for analyzing the image in the captured screen area. Code will need to be able to identify numbers and basic shapes (circle, triangle, etc.) in captured area; my first thought was that a bunch of if/then statements would suffice. -outputting specific numbers and shapes identified in screen area to spreadsheet for later analyzation. -process would need to repeat (ultimately outputting a new row of info to spreadsheet) every time screen is updated in area of capture.
I'm having trouble figuring out what tools/language I need to learn to do this. I downloaded a program called 'Quick Screen Capture' that can capture a specific area of the screen, but don't see how to make it automatically scan the specific area every time the screen updates in that specific area.
ANY help/guidance/refernces/pointers are GREATLY appreciated. I basically am wanting to find out what kind of tools/software/programming language I need to be learning to do this.
