Seems like a bad idea to me....I'm assuming the FTP is automated...and
you're going to instead rely on the user manually hitting a hot key
for each screen? Not to mention that the idea screen scraping gives
me the shudders in any event....

How is the data sent by FTP generated? Seems like it'd be easier to
simply extract the data more often....you might be able to do actual
"real time"...but once every 5,10 or 15 minutes is probably easier and
just as beneficial.

We have a state wide software system that we do imaging for.
Currently they FTP the daily activity to us and we apply that the next day
to our master files.
We scan against those master files.
We want to be able to scrape from the state's program (windows based) the
case number and then feed that to our 5250 scanning program so it can be
done real time.
I want the user to just hit some hot keys to make this happen.

Hopefully that will make more sense, thanks for your patience.
