Help with Autohotkey and VB.net clipboard data comparison...

Let me begin by saying I admire the knowledge of some of you forum-goers. I have only taken an introductory couse in Visual Basic.NET as a supplement to my study of Electronics Engineering. I have just started a working as a Slot Tech at a soon to be opened casino and I have been selected for the task of configuring the game software and player tracking system for 2113 machines.

In a nutshell, what I need is a simple program that can compare a percentage stored on a clipboard to another percentage on an Excel spreadsheet. If the values do not match, I would like for a message box to display indicating this. The complicated part, for me, is creating a method of working this in with a macro program I have been using- Autohotkey.

Step one: Use macro to copy data from slots config software to clipboard.

Step two: Use macro to copy the correct data from Excel spread sheet to clipboard.

Step three: Compare the values and display a message box if they do not match. If they do match, continue with the macro.

I hope this is not overly confusing as you all seem to be experienced. I can only use the macro record function of Autohotkey at this point, BUt I am learning more every day.

Thank you in advance...
