You can try using the search bar too(specifically (http://villavu.com/forum/search.php?searchid=2094708)), if your don't understand somthing off the doc's (even though it IS on the doc's, here (http://docs.villavu.com/simba/scriptref/ocr.html?highlight=gettextatex#gettextatex) ;) ); it (the search bar) tends to turn up many useful topics that can help ( such as (http://villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=70721&highlight=gettextatex) or this (http://villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=81262&highlight=gettextatex), just to name a couple )

I think that
GetTextAtEx(const xs,ys,xe,ye, minvspacing, maxvspacing, hspacing,color, tol: integer;const font: string): string;
means, we're getting our text within a box xs, ys, xe, ye, and our minimum vertical spacing (usually 0), and our maximum vertical spacing (20 should suffice), and our height spacing (0), our text's color (some drawn out integer, such as/example 16777215), and the color's tolerance (try 15, 20, or if the text color never changes, 0), all in which returns us a string / our text. Hope this helps

thanx for the reply but the docs don't explain how to use,
and the search results give no help

Well I pretty much explained everything you need to enter for the function, what are you not understanding?

//Writes white coloured SmallChars font, in the chatbox:
