Read file content from notepad. Not from file. From notepad.

[Kamienios]

Hi,

I need to read txt file content. Problem is that all txt files are automatically encrypted with corporate software, and it`s content can`t be read with streamreader from file. Content is beeing decrypted by corporate soft and shown when opened with notepad.


Is there a way to read data from notepad?

Many thanks

you can do that with several API functions.
the call to FindWindow takes the window caption as the 2nd parameter, in this case it's "Untitled - Notepad":

but i'm sure now you've described the problem incorrectly as notepad doesn't support encrypting + decrypting files...

Hi,
I wrote that corporate soft is decrypting the files when they are opened with notepad. If I open them with streamreader they are decrypted.
Why the code snipped has been removed?

well I know how to do it ...even if no one else does

Yes there is a way you can get the content out of a window. However to me that sounds like your trying to bypass a security measure set in place by your company. Having discussions on how to bypass software security is something that we don't allow in this forum and that is clearly stated in our AUP. Because of that reason I've edited .paul.'s reply above and I'm going to close this thread.
