YOu'd have to use OCR to get that. There's a few good articles here on CP that cover it, here[^].

Thanks for reply.
My problem is that chat is not static and i want to get text continuously.
Another proble is the process of image (there are only 4 image: spade, heart, picche).

thanks

Unless the poker client you're using exposes some kind of interface for you to get the chat data from (VERY unlikely!) you have NO CHOICE but to use OCR.

if i use easyhook library, with this code

<DllImport("Ws2_32.dll")> _
Private Shared Function recv(socketHandle As IntPtr, buf As IntPtr, count As Integer, socketFlags As Integer) As Integer
End Function

<unmanagedfunctionpointer(callingconvention.stdcall, charset:="CharSet.Unicode," setlasterror:="True)"> _
Private Delegate Function Drecv(socketHandle As IntPtr, buf As IntPtr, count As Integer, socketFlags As Integer) As Integer

Private Shared Function recv_Hooked(socketHandle As IntPtr, buf As IntPtr, count As Integer, socketFlags As Integer) As Integer
Dim bytesCount As Integer = recv(socketHandle, buf, count, socketFlags)
If bytesCount > 0 Then
Dim newBuffer As Byte() = New Byte(bytesCount - 1) {}
Marshal.Copy(buf, newBuffer, 0, bytesCount)
Dim s As String = System.Text.UnicodeEncoding.ASCII.GetString(newBuffer)
'Dim s As String = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(newBuffer)
Dim tw As TextWriter = New StreamWriter("log.txt")
tw.Write(s)
tw.Close()
File.AppendAllText("hook.txt", vbNewLine + vbNewLine + s)

End If
Return bytesCount
End Function

i obtain this text

And? I've never heard of this "EasyHook" library and don't support it. I couldn't tell you what it does or how it works.
