I only want the row upto Totals including Interest and Principal. This is the last page. Totals is on line 12/2 in attachmate

So in the 'column' where you are getting the PROCESS DATE, when the value is TOTALS, get out of the write-to-Excel loop.
 
Upvote 0 Downvote
yes. just to let you know that the "process date" row is in all the pages
 
Upvote 0 Downvote
True. So do u have an idea what is required?
 
Upvote 0 Downvote
doesnt the code above already do that?
am i missing code? cuz it still captures the other data below Totals which i dont want
 
Upvote 0 Downvote
No, your code read thru rows 10 - 21 ALWAYS, regardless if any one of those rows contains TOTALS in that column!
 
Upvote 0 Downvote
ok i understand, but the pages previous require rows from 10-21
 
Upvote 0 Downvote
what happens if you move
Code: 
If Sess0.Screen.Search("TOTAL") = ("TOTAL") Then Exit Do
to right after Do instead of after Next i

@remy, he would never read any of the last page.

Rather than SEARCH, he need to test the value in the For...Next loop FIRST and Exit fro that point.

this seems to work somewhat, however, the value date shows up on its on at the bottom.

Code: 
VALUE DATE	TYPE	AMOUNT	INTEREST	PRINCIPAL	PRINCIPAL OUTSTANDING

03/31/15	PA     	331.48-	 0.68- 	         330.80-	36.96

First off, use ONLY ONE For...Next, as in my former example.

The first statement after For, must evaluate the TOTALS in the PROCESS DATE column. If it is TRUE, then exit The For and Do loops.

@Skip, I was thinking that if "TOTALS" was found, then it has to be the last page. then the script can do one final screenscraping, then exit. maybe something like this:
Code: 
If Sess0.Screen.Search("TOTAL") = ("TOTAL") Then 
        For i = 10 To 21
            obj.Worksheets("Input").Range("A5").Offset(A).Value = Sess0.Screen.GetString(i, 10, 9)
            obj.Worksheets("Input").Range("B5").Offset(A).Value = Sess0.Screen.GetString(i, 20, 7)
            obj.Worksheets("Input").Range("C5").Offset(A).Value = Sess0.Screen.GetString(i, 27, 11)
            obj.Worksheets("Input").Range("D5").Offset(A).Value = Sess0.Screen.GetString(i, 48, 11)
            obj.Worksheets("Input").Range("E5").Offset(A).Value = Sess0.Screen.GetString(i, 58, 11)
            obj.Worksheets("Input").Range("F5").Offset(A).Value = Sess0.Screen.GetString(i, 69, 11)
            A = A + 1
        Next I
exit sub 
end if

but it that fails, I would grab the entire row and compare it to the previous row of data that was scraped.

But there's a problem there. The TOTALS, it appears, can be in rows 11-21.

So each row MUST be tested in the PROCESS DATE 'column.'

Hey guys, this seems to work but the last payment gets captured twice in excel

Code:

Code: 
    Do

        For i = 10 To 21
            obj.Worksheets("Input").Range("A5").Offset(A).Value = Sess0.Screen.GetString(i, 10, 9)  'Value Date

            If Sess0.Screen.Search("TOTAL") = ("TOTAL") Then Exit Do
