Version: 1.1.4.0
Build terminal emulation capabilities into your application with VT and Telnet controls.

Scraping Text From the VT Display

Problem:

The developer is faced with the challenge of scraping text from within a VT data stream. The application must:

  • Write a VT data source to the display
  • Scrape the entire text from the display
  • Scrape specific areas of the display
  • Paste the scraped text to a standard textbox
 

Solution:

With the PowerTCP VT control, applications can perform these tasks and more. The Screenscrape sample demonstrates how to extract readable text from within a VT data stream.

Please note that typically the data source will be an active Telnet connection, and the VT control will be used non-visually.  However, the source of the data written to the control is not pertinent, as this sample demonstrates.

The Screenscrape sample is included with the full trial installation of PowerTCP Emulation for .NET. To dowload this sample with additional product-specific samples and documentation, see the following:
