Thread: Scraping region (based on screen coords) and outputting rgbSumvalue to screen

I want this code to scrape a specific region on my screen (based on coordinates) and then hash it based on the hash function. And print the hashoutcome to my screen but somehow nothing shows up on my screen, any thoughts on what I did wrong? I called the region that I wanted to scrape "region"

scrape.rar

I compiled the code with Netbeans and it created a *.jar file that I attached.

package scrape;
/**

import java.awt.Robot;
 
public class Scrape {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO code application logic here
    }
 
    protected int x;
    protected int y;
    private int region;
    private final int xofs = 3;
    private final int yofs = 3;
 
    public Scrape(int x, int y) {
 
        this.x = x;
	this.y = y;
    }
 
    public int hash(Robot myRobot, int x, int y, int width, int height) {
 
        int sum = 0;
 
	sum = width*height;
	for (int i = 0; i < width; ++i)
		for (int j = 0; j < height; ++j)
			sum = (sum << 5 ^ sum >> 27)
					^ (myRobot.getPixelColor(xofs + x + i + this.x, yofs + y + j + this.y).getRGB() & 0x00ffffff);
	return sum;
    }
 
    public int doScrape(Robot myRobot) {
 
        int sum = 0;
 
            region = hash(myRobot, 157, 133, 8, 14);
            System.out.println("Region 1       : "+region+" : "+getData(region)+"\r\n");
            sum += (int) region;
            return sum;
    }
 
    private static String getData(int rgbSum) {
        //compiled code
        throw new RuntimeException("Compiled Code");
    }
 
    public String region(Robot myRobot) {
 
        return getData(region);
    }
 
}

All went well when I wanted to compile it, and when I want to run it with java -jar <filename> then it just runs but I see nothing happening. Could you please help me get this little thing working, that's all I need, just that it outputs the value on my screen, so i can use that value in the rest by just changing 10digits in certain spots.

I tried to rent a coder for this but 99% show no interest or say they can't do it, and one guy came up with like $500,- to make this little script work :S

I havent compiled my edited code yet indeed. Will do that in a minute, but like you said you won't expect anything of it.

I downloaded the ebook Java for Dummys but I'm in a hurry and I really don't understand crap of it. One time it compiles to *.java the other time it compiles to *.class. I can only run this program when it's packed as a *.jar file, it's totally confusing.

I tried the paid forum , there you can hire people for $0.50 cent a minute, I chattted with 10 people all ready and everyone says: Send me the complete source and I'll take a look at it, well this whole sourced costed my friend thousands of dollars so I don't think he will be happy if I send that to anyone. So I filtered out only the essential parts. I wrote scripts before in AHK/AutoIT so on that front I'm not a total noob. I just don't get this *.java *.class *.svn-base.java and how to construct it all.

Anyway instead of being able to hire the people right away for $0.50/minute, it seems more that they like to steal my complete sourcecode. Thats why I posted in on this forum.

I'll pay anyone $100,- who makes this little program work and output the hashcode on my screen or in a txt file!

I already posted it there, thanks though! Maybe some day I will read into this stuff, but now i'm extremely busy and already read tons of basic stuff and still don't get it. Am I really that stupid? lol, must admit I didn't read much more then the hello world part though!

Is this still active? I can solve this this no problems at all. $100 seems fair. If you need proof I can pull this off - my image processing tutorial is not far off the mark - http://www.javaprogrammingforums.com...-tutorial.html
