Like command not finding comparing string

[Waubain]

I am using Attachmate Reflections which can run vba macros. My current project is to try to capture certain words as they scroll by on the screen during prescription filling sessions. Below is a typical portion of the screen as it scrolls by. In this case I am looking for the word GLAUCOMA.
--------------------------------------
Do you want to enter a Progress Note? No// NO
Rx # 52423683 06/30/12
MJIHUZXSS,JELUAHT D #7.5
INSTILL 1 DROP IN BOTH EYES AT BEDTIME FOR GLAUCOMA
LATANOPROST 0.005% OPH SOLN
TIMMER,TIM WAGON, CHUCK
# of Refills: 1
Is this correct? YES// YES
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the portion of code that handles the above lines on the screen. I added a Msgbox to verify that each line was readable and INSTILL 1 DROP IN BOTH EYES AT BEDTIME FOR GLAUCOMA was read and displayed in the Msgbox as a String. strDISEASE is dimmed as a string variable



.WaitForString "Do you want to enter a Progress Note?"
.Transmit "NO" & CR
GoTo SCCHECK
SCCHECK:
i = 1
Do Until strReadline Like "*Is this correct?*" Or i > 100
strReadline = ""
strReadline = .ReadLine("00:00:01")
If strReadline Like "Rx*" Then 'Grabs Rx number an puts it in Excel
strRXGRAB = Mid(strReadline, 6, 8)
End If
' MsgBox strReadline, vbOKOnly
If strReadline Like "*GLAUCOMA*" Then
strDISEASE = "Yes"
Else: strDISEASE = "No"
End If
i= i + 1
Loop


Any thoughts on why "Like" would not work for the code below when it works perfectly for other parts of the code. The only difference in the other places I use "Like" is that I know how the entire string looks. Here the words before GLAUCOMA may be different in each prescription.

Here is the portion of code to attempt to catch the word GLAUCOMA as it scrolls on the screen(same as above). I do not seen anything in MSDN that limits the Like operator.



If strReadline Like "*GLAUCOMA*" Then
strDISEASE = "Yes"
Else: strDISEASE = "No"
End If


Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Case differences? 'Like' is case sensitive



Option Explicit

Sub test()
Dim strReadline As String, strDISEASE As String
strReadline = "INSTILL 1 DROP IN BOTH EYES AT BEDTIME FOR GLAUCOMA"
If strReadline Like "*GLAUCOMA*" Then
strDISEASE = "Yes"
Else
strDISEASE = "No"
End If
MsgBox strDISEASE
If strReadline Like "*Glaucoma*" Then
strDISEASE = "Yes"
Else
strDISEASE = "No"
End If
MsgBox strDISEASE
End Sub

Paul, thanks for the response. I was unaware that Like was case sensitive, but that was not the problem. My logic was wrong. My Like statement worked, but since this reads line by line, the very next line after did not match so it changed always changed to No. I dropped the Else statement and worked with the alternative Null and it all worked fine.

Thanks again
