Can anybody help me out, show me where to look or a keyword or something? I'm trying to figure out how to write simple programs that can manipulate other programs. To keep it simple, and as a start, I'd like to be able to run the program to insert a pre-determined string into a field on the internet and (i.e. username and password) and then submit the form (press login). Can anybody send me in the direction of what this is called? Anything? Thank you very much. I'm also sorry if this is not the appropriate forum.. I plan to use Java to implement it so that was the only connection I could think of. Thank you very much in advance!
