I think I will give it a run tonight at doing the screen scan on a Pixel by Pixel Scan and see what I come out with. That may be the easiest thing to do. In looking closely at the pictures I may be able to draw some soft of patterns in where I should look for the words. I will post an example here with what I come up with. NoobInGa

Hi Cory and thanks for the response. I was a Little short on information on this one. Here is what I am looking for. I am searching an Image basically for a String of Letters. The Get Pixel Idea would certainly work but it would be a quit a long and intricate process to search the entire screen for this particular patern. The Images that are being Searched are 1024X768. The Patern would be probably 4 Characters long and each Character would probably be 6 X 5 Pixels in size with a 2 Pixel width spacer in beteen each character. The Pixels would be grey on black I believe. That being said I would be searching for a specific patern that would be 30 Pixels wide and 5 Pixels in Width. The Issue with it comes in the fact that this 30X5 Section of pixels that I am looking for could be anywhere on the screen or it may not even exist. I was hoping for the lazy mans way out of a Function that would do a Picture match. I could do the picture match in VB but was hoping for an easy way to just put it into a macro. Hope the more information helps. NoobInGA

I am looking for a way to search the active Window for a Specific Pixel Patern. Once that Pixel Patern is found I would like to copy the location to a Variable. Any ideas on how to do this.
