Lots of If Then Parses

[Alvanian]

Ive been working on a very large "bot" for a game that I play. Basically all it does is parse two log files that alternate as the logs are being used by the game you cant parse them while its being written to.

Anyhow my code is starting to get very bulky and starting to take more time to process than I would lilke. So if anybody is good at stuff like this any suggestions would be apreciated.

Here is the bulk of the processing

Private Sub Sendmessage(msg As String)
    Dim lHwnd As Long
    Dim lRetVal As Long
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim character As String
    lHwnd = FindWindow("HGClass", "NODBOT V1.53 Beta")
    If lHwnd Then
        lRetVal = PostMessage(lHwnd, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_RETURN, &H1)
        For i = 1 To Len(msg)
            character = Mid$(msg, i, 1)
            lRetVal = PostMessage(lHwnd, WM_CHAR, ByVal Asc(character), 0&)
        Next
        lRetVal = PostMessage(lHwnd, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_RETURN, &H1)
    End If
End Sub
Private Sub findword2()
Dim parse() As String
Dim temp As String
Dim Entering() As String
Dim killed() As String
Dim killed2() As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim re As New RegExp, m As Match
Dim t As String
Dim JoinInv() As String
Dim JInv As String
Dim x As Integer
Dim killbox() As String
Dim item_index As Long

Open "C:\Program Files\Sony\Station\Infantry\nodbot\bhl\bhl2.log" For Input As #1
Do Until EOF(1)
      Line Input #1, temp
      parse = Split(temp, vbTab)
    '0 = message type'
    '1 = sent to'
    '2 = sender'
    '3 = message'
      Entering = Split(parse(3), "Entering: ")
      If InStr(parse(0), "8") > 0 Then
      killed = Split(parse(3), " killed by ")
      t = killed(0)
      re.Pattern = "\(*\d\d*\)$"
      re.Global = True
      For Each m In re.Execute(t)
      killed2 = Split(killed(0), m.Value)
      item_index = SendMessage2(List1.hwnd, LB_FINDSTRING, -1, killed2(0))
         Next
      If item_index > 0 Then
      killbox = Split(List1.List(item_index), " ::: ")
      List1.List(item_index) = killbox(0) & " ::: " & killbox(1) + 1
      Else
      List1.AddItem killed2(0) + " ::: " + "1"
    End If
    End If
    If playd.Value = 1 And InStr(parse(0), "8") > 0 Then
      killed = Split(parse(3), " killed by ")
      t = killed(0)
      re.Pattern = "\(*\d\d*\)$"
      re.Global = True
      For Each m In re.Execute(t)
      killed2 = Split(killed(0), m.Value)
    Sendmessage ":" + killed2(0) + ": " + pdmes.Text
        Next
    End If
    If joinkeyon.Value = True And InStr(parse(0), "2") > 0 And InStr(parse(3), joinkey.Text) > 0 Then
    Sendmessage ":" + parse(2) + ":*unspec"
    End If
    If joininvon.Value = True And InStr(parse(0), "2") > 0 And InStr(parse(3), joinkey.Text) > 0 Then
      JInv = one.Text
      JoinInv = Split(JInv, ",")
      For x = 0 To UBound(JoinInv)
      Sendmessage ":" + parse(2) + ":" + "*prize " + JoinInv(x)
      Next
    End If
    If ent1e.Value = 1 And InStr(parse(0), "9") > 0 Then
    Sendmessage ":" + Entering(1) + ": " + ent1.Text
    End If
    If ent2e.Value = 1 And InStr(parse(0), "9") > 0 Then
    Sendmessage ":" + Entering(1) + ": " + ent2.Text
    End If
    If ent3e.Value = 1 And InStr(parse(0), "9") > 0 Then
    Sendmessage ":" + Entering(1) + ": " + ent3.Text
    End If
    If ent4e.Value = 1 And InStr(parse(0), "9") > 0 Then
    Sendmessage ":" + Entering(1) + ": " + ent4.Text
    End If
    If InStr(parse(0), "2") > 0 And InStr(parse(3), key1.Text) > 0 Then
    Sendmessage key1t.Text
    End If
    If InStr(parse(0), "2") > 0 And InStr(parse(3), key2.Text) > 0 Then
    Sendmessage key2t.Text
