Just trying to capture data in a loop

I am doing an exercise where I am searching countless data entries in a bad format and finding what I need. Below is very sample data. I can find the midway point all the time fine. But it is getting the data between MidwayPoint and NewStart.
I tried IF statements but keep getting locked up, and the fact that the data here isn't always stacked neatly. Sometimes spaces jump in like you see below.
How Can I best loop to always capture all the data between MP and NS?

[TABLE="width: 93"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Start[/TD]

[TABLE="width: 93"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]
Code:
    indi = 1
For i = 1 To lastrow
    If (InStr(1, inarr(i, 1), "Invoice # S", vbTextCompare)) > 0 Then
        If (InStr(1, inarr(i + 7, 1), "Shipping Instr :", vbTextCompare)) > 0 Then
                    If WorksheetFunction.CountA(inarr(i + 8, 1)) > 0 Then
                    Num8 = inarr(i + 8, 1)
                    ElseIf WorksheetFunction.CountA(inarr(i + 8, 1)) = 0 Then
                    Num8 = ""
                    End If
                    If (InStr(1, inarr(i + 7, 1), "Shipping Instr :", vbTextCompare)) = 0 Then
                    Num8 = ""
                    End If
        Num7 = Trim(Split(inarr(i + 7, 1), "Shipping Instr :")(1))
        Else: Num7 = ""
        End If
    outarr(indi, 6) = Num7 & Num8
    indi = indi + 1
    End If
Next i
