Search for pixels on screen

[qbazdz]

Hi,

I am quite new to AutoIt but already had some success doing a couple of scripts that automate some of my regular workflows.

There is one particular application which I cannot quite sort out yet, which is to use Autoit to analyse a given screen (can be from a currently made screenshot) and match a location of a set looking pixels (imagine an icon for an app, that changes place on your desktop and Autoit is to find where it is and interact with it).

Any ideas or examples on something similar?

I can tell you this, image search is probably the worst way to do this. What is this application you wish to automate?

So I'm looking for specific flags (graphical) which will show up on an image within an app window. Based on their locations I want to read row/column locations of where they appeared.

As this is using Android emulator I have no access to anything via usual commands.

Essentially Im trying to screen scrape the info and log it into a database.

Thanks Jos.

Im trying to essentially use AutoIt to generate a copy of a mobile app data which I can't access/pull out otherwise and run some further analysis in Excel.

Data is simply coming in a form of a plot, where I can read/approximate the value for X and Y and once I have it in DB or CSV format I can do all the rest of the magic
