monitor chat window for specific string

[Ixany 0]

I'm pretty new to AutoIt

Here's my problem, I go on a chat website and the problem is somtimes there's too much people chatting in the same time that's it can be hard to see text concerning myself. I would like to make a script that captures any line containing my nick and put it in another window.

Is parsing page once waiting a little while then parse it again and search for my nick is the only option ? Or is there a way to capture text in real time ?

Thanks for any idea!!

If the chatwindow is not based IE or other brower,you can get it by ControlgetText() and compare the result with String*().

then you can use controlsetText or send or clip*() to work.ICQ or others chat client works well.

Edit:

use While for a loop.you can do it all the time.

In fact, the chatwindow is a java applet called from an IE window (it's volanochat)... I assume what you proposed won't work...

I believe it does,but you should change something about childwindow.

I've seen some experts talk about it,but i cannot understand it so far.Waiting for a better answer too.

What does the AutoIT Window Info Tool say for the ChatBox?

I can help you with the code...I don't use volano so most of us would need to see a a snapshot from the tool.

Well you have to enter a room, though i get nothing really good in there since the chat is in a SunAwtCanvas

Thx guys for all your tries... but whta is your conclusion ? Is it possible to do anything or I should forget about it ?

And again thx all trying to help me!

Well my guess is that Java and Autoit is never a good mix so this might not be the best langues to use
