I was digging abit in the Euphoria website and searching a solution for the=
following application
1=B0 Suppose you want to connect FilemakerPro with a Scanning software and =
an OCR package
In a way you can install an MACRO -Recorder, thats a program where you assi=
gn to keys an macro like you can do within Excell spreadsheets, or Visual b=
asic.You endup recording the 'keystrokes' and come up with an kind of intui=
tively written program, repeating the keystrokes... Hence opening one progr=
am, copying the information from the scanner, sending it to the OCR engine,=
copying the text and pasting in a datafield, copying the image and pasting=
in an imagefield... You create your simple archive system.
There exists alot of macro recording applications, that tend to cost easily=
50$, hence i wondered why this euphoria couldn't do the very same ?
2=B0 So suggestion
(maybe the answer is its possible, but noone explored it yet ?)
- If the PUTS(fn) would allow kind of PUTS(KEYB), you would be able to send=
keystrokes emulating someone typing in the keyboard for external applicati=
ons
- If you would write alitle interface registering the GETS() and sending th=
em directly as PUTS() you would be able to 'Macro record' those keystrokes,=
so really doing it the Excell style spreadsheet macro recorder.
The macrorecording thing is so easy and so intuitively, that you really nee=
d no programmings skills to make programs cooperate... together, and save y=
ourself tons of time doing things far more efficiently
- once written, euphoria would be the 'only free macro tool'=20
- and it would be an easy platform to make softwareprograms collaborating w=
ith the benefit of being able to add fe bitmap to jpg conversion during cop=
y paste procedure, and extract 4 graphs for an 4document TIFF file, or scan=
in a whole document and database and index the textfile.
anyone can help me on this one ? the keyboard macro would solve already 90%=
of the problem IMHO. The TIFF graph file splitting is a second problem and=
the compression is a last problem (therefore i saw already some apllicatio=
ns)
thanks on advance
