Scraping text from application?

[kamix]

Hello every1!

I am completly new with python so please bear with me
Is there a way to scrape the text out of applications. For e.g. I have a windows application that I would like to scrape text out of it. If I understand correctly BeautifulSoup library is made to scrape text out of websites via inspecting html content. With it you can extract/scrape text from websites. I am looking for similar library that is able to process text from windows application that is fixed in window size (e.g. w:480 h:340). Is there a way to do so with python?

If I haven't been clear enough with my question, please let me know.

Thanks for the read!

Can I ask why?
You can certainly do that (write your own), but you can also find specific text in a script using
OS tools like grep (linux). For instance if you wanted to find all scripts that contained the value
w:480 beginning at the current directory and for any sub directories, you would use (from command line):
grep -ri -m 1 --include '*.py' 'w:480' .
Perhaps redirect it to a file names results.txt
grep -ri -m 1 --include '*.py' 'w:480' . > results.txt
