Hello, hope someone can help...

I am using Attachmate Extra! (version 7.1 from memory) to talk to various devices. The output of most of the commands I issue are very long and there's no way of limiting the output to one page at a time - which would make things easier.

I need a way of accessing the history buffer using VBA in order to perform some further manipulation in Excel. A simple copy into the clipboard would suffice.

I have tried everything I can think of but I can only ever programatically access the last 24 lines or so.

If its not posible to access the history buffer, is there anyway to enable the capture screen function via VBA?

Thanks in advance
 
Ok, I have a feeling its not possible to do what I asked. i therefore thought I'd try another term emulator I have installed - Reflection.

its straightforward with this, the get text command (selecttext) allows you to use negative coordinates for the row which allows you to access lines before the current screen.

e.g. .SelectText -100, 0, 23, 131

Thanks anyway.
