Automating programs using C#

Question

Hey,

I would like to automate some actions I do regularly with some programs.

I would like to do something like to:
1. open a program
2. generate a click
3. check for text within the output of the program
4. when all is finished, close the program.

Is it hard to do? Do I have to interact with the program's memory?

Thanks a lot for any help.
