I am trying to write a code using Selenium Basic.
I am extracting messages from a messaging service.

I can extract all the messages using FindElementByClass, however this returns all the messages and does not contain any details of who the message is from.
I need the messages returned to the cells in the spreadsheet to allow me to identify if they were in coming messages from the contact, or outgoing messages that I have sent.

Within some of the elements within the code itself there is data that that does confirm this, however they are elements that I cannot use as a method for extracting the message itself, such as compound classes or div tags.
I want to be able to extract those elements, but not the data from the website, the data within the code.

Please let me know if someone could provide some advice with this.
