AUTOIT can automate many tasks like this. There are forums on this app along with some help on writing the scripts. You didn't tell if this was Windows based.

Dear All,
I do have a problem. I am working in spectroscopic laboratory at the university. My current project is accompanied by long term measurements at different temperatures. The temperature control unit is controlled by a separate software than the spectrometer unit. The softwares and thus the instruments do not communicate with each other!! However, I wrote 2 scripts. The first one controls the spectrometer and adjusts the angles of the polarizers inside the instrument. The other script controls the temperature. Now, a certain measurement has to be done with a subsequent change in the temperature and the measurement has to be repeated and the temperature kept constant during each measurement. I arranged everything with delay times in each script (one script "waits" for the other). Ok, so far so good. Now I would like to observe if everything goes well, when the scripts are running overnight in order to check, if at a certain time the temperature is correct and the measurement is running properly. Furthermore, an information about the lamp power would be helpful, too. Thus I search for a software that can do the following stuff: reading values from different fields on the screen at a certain time, afterwards transferring that data into a readable database for instance directly as an ASCII file with columns for each monitored field. Ok I hope I described my problem appropriately and you can help me.
Thanks,
Stephan
