Subject: Automated filling-in of external Windows application fields ...?

Dear all,

I have around 50 files which I need to open in an external (Windows) program, one after the other.
As each of them is about 100 MB larger, I'd like to automate the process.
The external application contains some data which are needed for the processing which I cannot
reproduce in another easy way.
I am not really familiar with coding in Windows, and I unfortunately do not know which GUI
was used to produce the external application I am using -- it seems that it was developed quite some time ago, in Delphi,
for Win95/NT, but still runs nicely on my Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit machine.
Is there a way, using Ruby, to get names of textfields and or other widgets of a GUI application on Windows ?
Could you provide an example on how to scrape Windows applications ...?

Thank you very much,

Best regards,

Axel
