Screen To Text File

by gary.wong . Updated 24 years ago

We are using a proprietary software which will only allow us to print directly to any select printer. The normal Windows printer options doesn’t appear to allow me to select “Print To File”.

The OS we are using is Win 2000. The proprietary software generate a spreadsheet like screen with data on it. It will print directly to a printer.

Does anyone have a way for me to generate a text file of this screen. On the printout, the menu also appears which gives the impression its like the “print to screen”, but the spreadsheet can span more than one screen worth of image.

If I can get a file, I could write a program to parse the file and get the require information I am looking for.

Any suggestions??????

Thanks You.

Gary
