ok, thanks I got this working now, but I only need text with certain colors spoken. I know how to do this in the frame manager, but can you get this to work with the GetTextInFrame Function? In other words can you only get text with specific attributes? ----- Original Message ----- From: Geoff Chapman To: jawsscripts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, January 07, 2010 9:57 PM Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: GetTextInFrame hi Gian. I can probably speak somewhat into this one, but I just haven't been able to make the time to do it properly! never enough time! but, in very basic untested form, which I realize is not how you've asked for it, wouldn't you just wanna do something like: define CrateName as a local or global string variable, let's say local for sake of argument near the beginning of your script, after the term var to denote variable list, (though in all standard protocol you should really probably call it, var string sCrateName ; (the preceeding lower case s, indicating that it's a string variable, ; wouldn't you then just do something like: let sCrateName = GetTextInFrame ("MyFrameName") if StringContains (sCrateName, "TextToWatchFor") then ; do whatever you need. EndIf something like that? however what I'm not sure about here is, and what I do keep insisting you reeally need to work on getting down too if your gunna work with frames, is to insure that their validation criteria is accurate. i.e. that their WindowTitle, or Class parameter, far more often the former than the latter is problematic in my experience, is not breaking the frame from working. gotta run. see how you go with this so far. ----- Original Message ----- From: "GianniP46" <giannip46@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "JawsScriptsList" <JawsScripts@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 05, 2010 2:57 PM Subject: [jawsscripts] GetTextInFrame > Hi all, > Can someone give me some sample code to get the text that is in a frame that is already defined and have that text assigned to a string variable called CrateName. > I am trying to check a frame to see if it contains certain text.
