Here's an approach that opens Notepad & Word, then monitors Notepad for any changes, updating the open Word document when they occur. This hasn't been tested in any great depth, and I wouldn't run it anywhere with existing instances of Notepad or Word open without testing what happens first, but it should get you started. For the most part this uses standard library files, although I did go with WinGuiAuto as a quick and dirty wrapper around the win32gui complexity. If you don't want to introduce it as a dependency, you can extract the functionality you need: http://www.brunningonline.net/simon/blog/archives/winGuiAuto.py.html import os import time from win32com.client import Dispatch from winguiauto import ( findTopWindow, findControl, getEditText, WinGuiAutoError ) # conditional for main loop def window_is_open(hwnd): try: findTopWindow(selectionFunction=lambda ohwnd: hwnd == ohwnd) return True except WinGuiAutoError: return False # start Notepad os.system('start notepad') time.sleep(0.1) # give it time to open or we don't get the handleW npad = findTopWindow(wantedText='Untitled - Notepad') ndoc = findControl(npad, wantedClass='Edit') # edit control for Notepad # start Word word = Dispatch("Word.Application") word.Visible = True wdoc = word.Documents.Add() # edit control (new document) for Word # update Word when Notepad changes MEMORY = None while window_is_open(npad): ntxt = getEditText(ndoc) if ntxt != MEMORY: wdoc.Content.Text = os.linesep.join(ntxt) MEMORY = ntxt time.sleep(1) wdoc.Close() # opens a save dialogue wdoc.Quit() Hope this helps. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
