capture 2 texts from the screen and compare them using AutoHotkey - compare

Question

I'm working with AutoHotkey and I need to capture two sentences from my screen and compare them. Anyone knows how to do it?
Thanks a lot!!!

OK, this shows some effort.
When you use mouseClickDrag, you have to be absolutely sure that the text will ALWAYS be at those exact locations, which is very unlikely, think about a menu bar moving the webpage down, or about using F11, doing the opposite, changing the font style/size, just zooming in/out, or making the window smaller, such that the text block becomes smaller in width but longer in length, having another banner add that is smaller or larger, et cetera. If you can use an other method (e.g. Find text and from that position, jump 10 words to the left (^{Left 10}) and then select the next 5 words (+^{Right 5}), would be much more reliable.

MouseClickDrag,left, 540, 295, 602, 295 ; HighLight area1
Send, ^c
ClipWait, 2
MyVar1:=ClipBoard ; OR MyVar1 = %ClipBoard%
MouseClickDrag,left, 540, 295, 602, 295 ; HighLight area2
Send, ^c
ClipWait, 2
MyVar2:=ClipBoard ; OR MyVar2 = %ClipBoard%
If (MyVar1 = MyVar2)
{
MsgBox, The values %MyVar1% and %MyVar2% are equal
Send, %MyVar1%
; ClipBoard:=MyVar1 ; OR ClipBoard = %MyVar1% is alternative way (Faster)
; Send, ^v
}
Else
{
MsgBox, The values %MyVar1% and %MyVar2% are NOT equal
Send, %MyVar1% AND %MyVar2%
; ClipBoard = %MyVar1% AND %MyVar2% ; is alternative way (Faster)
; Send, ^v
}
Return
You could add some tests to only execute this when Chrome, FireFox or IE is active, but I have left that out. First chew on this code.
