Description changed to:
Hi,

In my application GUI that I am testing, there is a box that has some
text. I would like to check if a certain phrase appears in that textbox
while my that application is running.

the code that i have written is :
log = find(image of the textbox)
while not log.inside().exists("abc xyz"):
    sleep(5)
    while not testlog.inside().exists("abc xyz"):
        popup("fail")
popup("pass")

This code did not work as it should. If I put in text, the test would
fail even if the text appeared. I tried putting an image of the text,
but with that it always passes even if the (abc xyz) does not appear.

I am currently using sikuli 1.0.1 and during the installation I have
just selected Option 1 (Sikuli IDE, running scripts from commandline)
and Option 6 (useable on windows, mac and linux). do i need to select
the option with ocr? how to have ocr inside the sikuli i already
installed? do i need to reinstall sikuli?

I have also tried putting these in my codes but it still could not work (maybe because i did not select ocr during installation?)
Settings.OcrTextSearch = True
Settings.OcrTextRead = True

I am thinking if the exists(some text) cannot work, I am wondering
whether I can use Sikuli to open the log file (the box that has text in
it is saved in a log file) and try to find the text in it. I would like
to know how to use Sikuli to search for text inside a log file.

Thanks.
