How could i export numbers shown inside text fields in a java applet?
The applet isn't mine, it's just an applet i've found on the net...
Now i would like to import the data (a flow of numbers) it shows in Matlab.
How could i do?
OCR? Modifying the .class files that the applet installs on my disc? (it's quite difficult)
Any ideas?
ok.
The applet is just a streaming of stock quotes coming from a quote server.
This applet, just prints this stream on the screen...
I can't write my own applet. I just need to capture what the applet prints in
output. I was thinking about how can java profilers look up inside java
processes memory and get their values. They're experts, i don't know how to
do that :-(
This is an example java applet on which i work:

In the "get stock" field, just write IBM and press go when markets are open
and you'll see the stream of values.
There's no magical trick to take an existing applet, and pull data out of it in a way that it was not designed to do, without writing any code.
Maybe, if you're very very lucky, the applet already has a "save onto disk and invoke as an application and put the output in a file" method, but that seems unlikely.
You could decompile the class, and find out where it's getting its data from, and write similar code.
If you want a stream of stock quotes, though, it would probably be easier to get them from a different source.
