I want to write a script to copy certain text that requires scrolling (as per gif), would this be possible of am i wasting my time?

That depends .....   care to start with giving the detail on what we are looking at?  (WebSIte or Program?)
WebSite: Start looking at the different options available to automate websites
Program: Start using au3info to get the control information.

Ok, thank you for replying.

 

I can access this same text  3 ways.

1) Chrome browser in a tab

2) Chrome browser as a pop-up window.

3) As a popup from a stand alone program.

Here are the autoit  infos from all 3.

1 & 2  via browser TAB and browser Pop up widget

 

And in the third attached picture the au3info doesnt  notice  different areas in the highlighted red 1& 2 areas, though I can select these areas individually using copy and paste.

So all these 3 different options are all Chrome (embedded) applications, so one and the same.
... but it seems you are trying to automate some sort of online game ....right?
Did you read out forum rules with regard to game automation?

Ah, I think I know what you are referring to, not, Im not automating a game.

The lists are the results from a poker tournament on Sky poker, I am helping doing league tables of  peoples finishing positions after a poker toutnament has ended.

We have a little fun league going based on our finishing positions in different tournaments.

SKy poker are giving prizes out fot the best finishers, so they have no objection to us looking at their code.

Here is a link to the thread where we are discussing implementing automating the tables.

At the moment, there is a lot of cutting and pasting Im looking at automating it.

Thanks guys,

 

Ive had a look at the links / tutorials you have all provided and ever thing is way above my head and labour intensive.

I realise there needs  to be a bit of pain to gain. 

I was hoping Auto would provide a shortcut and nothing was a shortcut.

I may as well learn Java or what @rootx suggests, I will have a little look at this , until Im out of my depth.

 

Thanks for your time.@rootx@water @Jos
