Could someone advise me on how i might go about manipulating text i have in a picture so that i can store it in an array?

Can you ellaborate, please. Thanks.

Sorry, i thought that might be a little vague.

Ok i have a picturebox that i have captured from another program. I would like to read the text from the picture and store it in an array.

Thanks
Chris

That is very complicating. Some expensive softwares (like Abby fine reader) do it nicely, but only if the text in the image is crisp clear.

Aha ... I'm afraid you have no luck with this one - VB doesn't support such functionality.
There at least two way to get text onto the picturebox by either embed it into the original image or (if it picturebox control) print it over actual picture and in this case text becomes an Image so you will need some very special third party tool to do that. Sorry.
