SimonPratt mentioned that this might be an XY problem. To further clarify the terminology, here is one of many links that explain what that is: http://xyproblem.info/. If you back up a bit and explain more about X to us, there may be some really simple solution to the problem.

Update: perhaps an example...some of these things ask a fixed set of questions in the same order every time, in that case sometimes all that is needed is a file with "the answers" which gets redirected into the program. It might or might not be necessary to "read the questions".
