I am using Sikuli to automate a mainframe screen, I need to copy a text on screen and use that as input to another screen.
I cannot find any option on the SIKULI IDE to do the copy function.
My question is, is it possible at all to copy text ?

Extracting Text from a Region class Region text() Extract the text contained in the region using OCR.
Returns: the text as a string. Multiple lines of text are separated by intervening ‘n’. Note: Since this feature is still in an experimental state, be aware, that in some cases it might not work as expected.
