I'm trying to write a script to read a value on a website and then process/compare that value to others. So far I've been able to copy the value to clipboard, but I don't know how to get that into a variable that my program can use.

Is there a way for AutoIt to read data from the clipboard, or can I paste the value into some other location and have it read from there?

Edit: I found a function called ClipGet(). I'm going to give that a try.

Post if that works out for you - that's something I'd like to know how to do

Probably the easyest way to do this would be to parse the data over via php script, and input this into a database. CSV or SQL. Once you get the information into the db, then at the end of the parse, write a script that will take the data that is in the database and compare it to another table or your variable that you are trying to use. Though I dont know exactly how everything you have is setup, I would say this is probably going to be your best bet.

Works just lovely. I used

$var = ClipGet()

It stores as a string and can be cast later as you need it. I also found:

PixelGetColor(x,y)
PixelSearch(left,top,right,bottom,shade,step)

Very useful for screen recognition and grabbing data from a window. It's a very handy little language.
