I've written a VB.NET application to automate common conversion operations, and have separate logic between known vendors. A particular file layout has become rather common, but due to the nature of how t...

I'm auto-interacting with an SSH session and an ERP program using Expect. Rather than relying on a regular expression to capture a variable in my expect script would it be possible upon receiving a certain keystroke from a user to capture a screen region, say one field, into a variable in the code?
