Yes, and much more advantage if one knows the "bitmap" FILE ( ! ) format? Skip the first 54 bytes (file header) and you will find....the "pixels" aka image data pixelarray (depending on the 1/2/4/8/16/24/32 Bit per Pixel mode (see header...)). So no need to CreateBitmapFromFile() because a simple "open" file gives access to the pixel data array.... Go and get the first "line" of the bitmap (as a char-string) and search in the screenshot (transfer the screenshot-bytes into a char-array...others say "string") with StringInstr(). If the first line of the bitmap is found in the screenshot, the comparison of the next "line" in the bitmap with the next "line" in the screenshot is easy. Because the position of the text ( a char-array ist the same as a byte array) is known in the screenshot-"text", the comparison with the next "lines" is only a comparison of "text" (StringMid() is our friend) . I have written a few example scripts with this method to find a "bitmap in a bitmap". I have to look for them at the weekend Speed-challenge opened!

Never ever store a key, password, login, ... in clear in a program. Store a strong hash of the value, let user enter value, compute its hash and compare hashes.
