title: Efficient screen scraping in Ruby
body: <p>I have some software written in C and it can screen scrape my Windows system quite well. I was wondering how I would implement some screen scraping and data capture from the windows machine in an efficient way? </p>
  
  <p>Any public gems or anything else?</p>
  
  <p>To clarify as requested by commenters. I am trying to be able to capture screen information using ruby - Such as scraping pixel information and other specific data (Windows GUI information)</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way of doing this easily (and efficiantly) within ruby?</p>
  
  <p>Cheers</p>
