I decided before giving up on this I would go back through each app  that was mentioned and try again. and to my surprise one of them finally worked. not sure what was different  but after trying Jorc again I got some pleasing results. It wasn't 100% accurate but most ocr programs aren't. so far it's crashed on me a few times but it captures more than SysExporter or any other  app I have tried.

Thanks for the help guys. it's greatly appreciated

copyText was one  of the first apps I tried. Never thought of evernote or ABBYY Screenshot reader either. I'll look for a demo of those two and see if it will help thanks.

LaunchBar Commander / Adding minimized windows apps and folders to dock?

« on: March 22, 2011, 09:56 AM »

I've been using rocket dock for  several months and love that minimized folders apps and windows go into the dock. I've only been using Launchbar Commander for a few weeks and I'm still getting used to the program. at the current state is it possible to make Launchbar Commander  do this ?

never figured I'd get this much help. thanks guys for the kind response.  Text grabber JOCR and Rocr and Resource hacker couldn't copy the text either.
If only I could select the text and export it to a plain text or csv file I'd be happy lol

thanks again

thanks for the links just finished downloading and trying  them out. Control Content Saver and Bintext worked but like SysExporter it was only able to get some of the text. WinDowzer could not get any of the tex. again thanks for the link.

the game is Extreme Warfare Revenge and Total Extreme Warfare 2007. maybe it's impossible due to the way its coded ?

I have been a media player whore switching from one program to the next over the past couple years.
my top music players are
1. Billy -  found billy a few months ago and  haven't looked back wish last.fm and tag editing was supported but other than that this is my favorite player.
2. Media Monkey Gold - it's a great  player and organizer but  it tends to bog down my system when I'm working or browsing.
3. Foobar - good program  but too much tweaking for  me. I spent more time  tweaking things than I did listening to the music.

I'm looking for a program that can extract text(which cannot be copied by normal means) from a program or game. I have tried several programs and only  SysExporter helped a little by  letting me copy a little of the text but  it still left a lot to be desired. Textractor,WinScraper,ShoWin, and Count Characters didn't work at all.

I contacted the creator of the text based game to see if he had any ideas and with the older games it was impossible to code so copying would work. In the newer versions he  built in an excel exporter that exports the roster and stats straight to an excel file.

I would love for that to be be possible with this game but it's an older version there's no more support for it so I'm stuck with typing the data by hand. The stats are constantly updated doing by hand will be a nightmare.

would it be possible to  code a small program that can extra all data from the game while it's open or maybe from the game files ?

thanks in advance
