Extracting data from exe/dll

[khizrs]

I have a directory here which is in .exe format and there is a .dll file to accompany it.
I have tried extracting the data from both .dll and .exe without luck.
I think OCR software may do the trick,

I need to export the data highlighted in red, is there any sofware where I can just go down the list and it will automatically recognise each field and put it into a spreadsheet?

yeah any decent OCR software will be able to handle this as the text will have no significant ambiguity with little jpeg compression.

omnipage pro could handle this but it isn't free.

I can't imagine the data is actually stored in the executable, you should figure out where the data really is at and go from there.

I would agree with Nothinman. No developer worth anything would hard-code all of that data into a dll or EXE. How would someone change it? There must be a database or xml file somewhere housing this data. If it isn't in the same directory as the EXE use a tool like filemon to see all of the files the EXE loads.

Too true. KB is a wealth of knowledge. 😉 Personally, i would load the DLL in a new C++ project and see what it does. Wait, oops, it may not be exported for C++.

Order hardcopy, rip out pages, scan? 😉
