thanks gale, but how do I use this feature? I'm pretty new at this. I want to locate a word on screen and click on it, which variables in your script I need to change to match my search?

it looks like MODI works the same way as FindImagePos, except it uses a pic as a source. I wish I had a clue about those web requests, this imaging route is tedious.

hi gale. I haven't quite understood your suggestion for the remembering problem. Can you elaborate? Using ocr would require me to know which word I'm looking for, and I don't. I want to get all the names of products on the webpage regardless of their name. As I said to adroege, I submit each name in...

this sounds like a solution that could make my life a lot easier. However I have no idea how this website handles posts and gets. I looked at the page source and it has a lot of java script functions. How do I know what to send and what to get? Where to start?

I don't think you fully understand my purpose. I need to deal with each product name seperately. I first copy the name, paste it in another webpage, get a result, and the result I paste in the "Price" field. Parsing the entire HTML and using regex won't help me because I need to know the location on...

I've tried copying the text to the clipboard, but it doesn't help with the scrolling issue.
Getting the entire page sounds nice, but regex won't give me the cordinates of the matches.
This is getting frustrating...

well my solution failed. I captured the text as an image and scanned the screen comparing it. the problem is that sometimes all of the results don't appear in the same screen and I need to page down the webpage and repeat the scanning in order to get all the matches. there is sometimes only a couple...

well I've managed to solve the issue with image recognition, I only have 1 problem. I use findimagepos which then creates an array of matching coordinates. when I check a set of coordinates, like Xarr_1 and Yarr_1, I want to know if the next set after it, Xarr_2 and Yarr_2, have coordinates in them....

what would be the easiest way?
the text is a simple text in a webpage, not a button or something, however its frequency and location changes.
