I'd like to read the contents of a console window (not mine), the output
can't be piped to a file (i've tried that). However i can select all the
text
(manually) and then copy it to eg. notepad.. Sending text to the console
command-line works by using SendMessage(hwnd,WM_CHAR,'A',1) but when using
WM_GETTEXT or any similar thing returns either nothing or the
window-caption.. I need to read the contents of the console itself.. Anyone
knows how ?

Regards, Eric
