is this possible ?

Hello

I want to create a script to play a sound when a string is reached. The problem is that this string will be outputed from an application like Hyperterminal or Command Prompt Window, and I'm not sure if AutoIt supports reading strings from other applications.

If yes, please help me.

So for example if string "disconnected" is appearing in the GUI, my script should be able to play a WAV file.

Thank you.

Can you read the text witht he Autoit Window Info tool? if so, then it should work. If not, then you may be out of luck, unless you do some auto copy / check clipboard loop within the window.

Unfortunately I cannot read the text with AutoIt Window Info Tool. How can I copy/check clipboard ? Do you have an example code for this ?

Look in the helpfile for clipget.

Look in the helpfile for clipget.

And setup a loop to SELECT ALL in the window and COPY. check the helpfile.
