For the most part, the Find process is much the same as in your other post. However, if you're both looking for multiple primary strings (eg 'hello there buddy|monday morning') and multiple secondary strings (eg NAM|ID) at the same time, that could make things complicated. As for populating Excel, that's quite doable but could end up accounting for 80% of the final code. Do you already have the Excel workbook the data are to go in, or is the macro to create a new one?
