Open .exe within Java component

[Elliott1992]

Hello all,

I'm new here and this is my first question and post.
Right my question is, Is it possible to open up a game using java and manipulate it (as a cheat). So i want to open up "chess" Using java (this is fine) But then i want to be able to "read" what is on the screen and act due to different actions, or moves etc.

Is this possible? And what is the best way to do this?

What i know so far

I can open the file by doing
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("");

But i don't know how i can get information from it.

Thank you

I think he meant his first post in the programming section and even that doesn't seem right... he has posted quite a few times in this section.

Java might not be the best language for this.

Look up ReadProcessMemory/WriteProcessMemory

If you want to read and write from memory in Java i suggest you write a JNI wrapper in C and use that with Java, its not the kind of work java is built for(more like built not to work like this)
