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

I've been programming with VB for 25 years. Started with VB4 16bit Pro, VB5 Pro, VB6 Pro/Enterprise and now VB3 Pro. But I'm no expert, I'm still learning.
Re: How can you read the text in a console of another program?
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.
