Question
Hey there.

Is it possible to extract a certain value from one program to another program (written in C). For instance, if Microsoft Word was running. Is it possible to write a program that extracts what has been typed in Word (for example) to my program?
Would really appreciate it if you could give me some pointers here. What would I need to do (generally).

Thanks
Daniel  

Answer
If whatever typed into word doc is saved and if your program knows the name of that file, it can read the word document and get the word.

But, remember that word has got its own format (Every file type has different formats/headers) and your program has to understand that.
