Find specific code within macro

[kingconsto]

Hey guys,

I have a macro that inputs into a external system. Once the input has been accepted, the system then kicks out a number and returns it to the excel sheet in column L, next to rate. I am looking to just use the part of the marco that returns the number so I can use it in another macro. Unfortunately, I know nothing about vba and do not know what I'm looking for. Please help!

This is where the code puts a value in column L.

Range("l" & counter) = temp(5)
