How can you read the text in a console of another program?

Anyone know?

Do a search for Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) on here. I know its old but it still works a treat. Thats if you made the other app. ;)

Unfortunately I did not make the other app.

Is there another way?

Any more hints about this "other program" and how it is used?

It is possible for a program to run another console program and do piped I/O against its STDIO streams. The hazard is that some console programs do Console Device I/O instead of using the streams, and that's a couple of orders of magnitude harder to intercept.
