screen scrape

To get data from a screen like a web page or mainframe (green screen) using a program. The program must parse the web page source (HTML) and look for hints, like field label tags. For mainframes is much easier since the screen is just a flat ASCII string.

screen capped 

After you do a "screen capture" of a picture or a still of a video, you have in a sense "screen capped" it.

Note: I'm not sure of the best way to spell it, I'm going with the version of "Screen Capping" that has previously been submitted.
I saw this random picture that was in a music video that didn't have images instead of a story with real people. I "screen capped" it to send to you for you to see.
