Searching for string in control

[localghost]

Hello,

I am writing an add-on for a game called tanks. It's a 2D java applet game. The problem is it has no sounds, so I was thinking of writing a script which would search the marked TextArea and if a string is found (example: [user has been destroyed]) the it would play a sound like an explosion.

In the picture below I have marked out where I want the text to read from..

Now, I don't know is it possible for a java applet window. But it doesn't use swing, just the normal AWT toolkit, so there shouldn't be any problems. I am able to find the window text, but it's just getting the text of that control, which I don't know the name of.

any help would be great,

thanks.
