background input, text output to different program.
hi guys, im looking for any help with my program, first some background info, if you dont want to read it just skip ahead of the italics
first off, i have no idea what happend to my account here, hence the reason why this is my first post.
okay, so at my workplace we have a scanner, we scan documents -> put in a user name -> confirm. now while its not too hard to just do that it would be better if i had a program that after scanning the item would just fill everything else for me.
here is what i got so far, the program will take the input for the scanner and fill everything else.
program takes scanner input
program outputs data( scanner input -> tab -> username -> tab -> pgdn ) into the company program.
rinse and repeat.
i got everything else figured out (easy stuff) but if i could be pointed to some tutorials (tried google, multiple times) on how to output to another runing program and how to take input while the console works on the background that would be awesome.

im using linux right now, but the computers at work are windows ME so i'll be installing windows on my computer so it can be easier to work a program for that computer.
in easier words, im using windows XP.
