I'm looking for a CMD line to capture a screen print. I've found many add on apps/programs, but that's not what I'm looking for.
Does anyone know a CMD line that will capture the screen?
I'm using a bat to run the ceton all signals code in firefox. I would like to automate it for awhile, where it runs as a scheduled task, but I need to capture the screen, and save each run as a seperate file.
I have the code to run the all ceton signals.
MISSING PART - Grab Screen Pic
I have the code to open MSPaint
I THINK I have the code to past the screen grab.
I have the code to save the file.
Not certain if it matters but my keyboard uses the FN button + prtscrn to print screen (copy as image).
CMD line for printscreen

As far as I know there are no cmd line options available for the built in snipping tool - other than launching it.

Is a third party program not a possibility at all?

If you run a print screen from the command line it's going to capture the CMD screen, is that what you're looking for?
Depending on what you need, try something like this:

Instead of grabbing the output as a picture, why not grab the page and save it as HTML using something like wget?

I'll check out these tools. I was hoping there was just a cmd line option like keyboarding fn+prtscrn, ctrl+v. I can use another tool if necessary. Automating this will be worth the extra program and time. Thanks!
I'll post back with what I landed on after reviewing all this.

Take a look at greenshot. It's an open source very powerful screen capture program that can use a command line or use autoit scripting
