Hi Dan I have gone thru the articles which u sent me  but in the articles the x and y coordinates are hardcoded. i want to search for a perticular text on a image and mask it on the fly without giving the xy coordinates. the program should identify its coordinates on the fly and mask it. in other words i want to implement OCR(Optical character recognition) can u guide me on this please. Thanks
