Reading the screen

[Kaesssq]

Is there a way to let autoit read the screen and make it click lets say the "X" text(just an example)  

Lets say u right click something but it can be anywhere in the screen so coordinates wont work so it has to read the screen and find the "X"  then left click that

is this possible or not?

im new to autoit so i really dont know if its possible or not lol

It depends from which application you want to read the text (an MS Office application like Excel, Word; an ERP like SAP; a web browser ...).

Please provide more detailed information. We then can provide a path to a solution
 

[Kaesssq]

Does it really depend?

 

[water]

Yes, because for Word, Excel, SAP, Edge, Firefox, Chrome etc. there are different UDFs available. Some are easier to implement (Word, Excel because they are part of AutoIt) some are more complex like WebDriver for browsers.
So, yes, it matters!

[Kaesssq]

Well it's for a browser not for Word or anything of microsoft.. so i think its the other that i need lol

sorry i don't really know much about autoit so im trying my best

[water]

Then you need to have a look at WebDriver. As a starting point I suggest the wiki.
But WebDriver is quite complex for a Beginner.

[Kaesssq]

So the webdriver can read whats on the screen and u can make it click like that or ?

[water]

You can search for links and click them

Doubtful that it will work with your browser based game.

For information only :
The other two threads of this User were closed due to suspicion of game automation. I suspect, this post is just a generalized reformulation and therefore I reported it for review by a moderator.

[water]

So far his question is quite legitimate (I think).
I just wanted him to tell us which application he tries to automate

Edit: And I know about the two locked threads

@Kaesssq How about an example of the page or app that you are trying to automate? The more info you provide the more able we are to assist.

@Kaesssq as I see you have been online and posting, and you decided not to answer my question, we will just assume that you're still trying to automate games. So this thread will be locked.
