Furthermore, this loop will write all the values to one cell.
Code: 
'
        For i = 10 To 21
            obj.Worksheets("Input").Range("E2").Value = ts.Sess0.Screen.GetString(i, 10, 8)
        Next i

do you want all the values in column E or all in row 2?

This is good SkipVought, thank you, but why doesnt it scroll through next pages and capture that data aswell. F8 key goes to next page and there are multiple pages
 
Upvote 0 Downvote
I tried that and it goes through the first page and scroll's to bottom and only captures the last page

could it be because of this line?
Set ts = fso.CreateTextFile("C:\temp\" & strCBName & ".txt", True)

i really dont want to create anything. Im just working on the current worksheet where the code is. If i comment that line, i get error message Object doesnt support this property or method on below line

Dim j as integer
j = 0
For i = 10 To 21
obj.Worksheets("Input").Range("E2").Offset(j).Value = ts.Sess0.Screen.GetString(i, 10, 8)
j = j + 1
Next i

Hello SkipVought, this is the code i have so far, that code you provided did help but for some reason, it only captures 1 page and does not scroll down and capture other pages

Okay, you changed my j variable to A.

Move the A variable initialization above the While...Wend
Code: 
dim A as integer
A = 0

i did what you told me and it still does not goto next page and scrape

Code: 
     Dim A As Integer
        A = 0
    While blnHasMoreLines
        blnHasMoreLines = (Sess0.Screen.Search("TOTALS").Value = "TOTALS")
        
       
        For i = 10 To 21
            obj.Worksheets("Input").Range("A5").Offset(A).Value = Sess0.Screen.GetString(i, 10, 9)
            A = A + 1
        Next i
        
     
        
        'send the next page command
    Sess0.Screen.SendKeys ("<Pf8>")

Hey SkipVought, want to thank you for your help. I decided to use Do statement instead and it works fine

Hi SkipVought, im having an issue. Maybe you can help me out here. When i scrape the data. The very last page with the last payment gets captured twice and also captures other stuff that i dont need

here is an example. The values in red i dont really need.

03/11/15 XC 180.00- 71.20- 108.80- 15,069.78 <----From 2nd last page

03/11/15 XC 180.00- 71.20- 108.80- 15,069.78 <----Last page duplicate

2,434.77- 15,069.78

This is why I asked you in some post, that you FIRST establish the screen navigation logic, like knowing what the THERE'S MORE message and the NO MORE message, and what to do under each of these conditions.

The only navigation logic is pf7 and pf8. I just dont know how to capture the payments only screen on the last page without to extra stuff at the bottom.

Are you saying that your screen has no message area, so you NEVER know if there is MORE or NOT MORE???

once you reach the last page and you evoke <PF8>, what happens? when does the word "TOTAL" appear?
 
Upvote 0 Downvote
It appears on the last page for every customer. It does exit the loop when total appears, however, it also captures the data after Total which i dont need
