Hi,
I'm very very new to OSX/UNIX and i was wondering how i would go about getting a certain text from a application window.
Explanation: App1 is running, it has a textfield with changing data. I start app2 and i want the data in the textfield from app1 available in app2. (i did not write app1 its a commercial app)
I guess it should probably be done in c++ but any other solutions are welcome.
If someone could help me in the right direction it would be much appreciated!
Thx!
