Extracting SMS Content

I'm trying to extract balance information from my bank's texting service. For some reason, the %SMSRB variable holds the same SMS content, despite clearing the variable. The SMS in question is from November, which happens to be when I deleted the stock sms app. (I regret this now, but I was and am solely using GO SMS so it seemed reasonable) I've tried installing the stock sms apk but the text body variable holds the same sms content. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Edit: I have granted Tasker external access and have also given it access to notifications in accessibility settings. Not sure if that helps narrow down the problem or not.
 
Welcome to Android Forums.

I assume you are root-ed and nailed it.

I am not root-ed and as an example use the following profile to read incoming SMS messages to me ...

Profile: tlaSaySMS
Event: Received Text [ Type:SMS Sender:* Content:* ]
Enter: tlaSaySMSEnter
A1: If [ %SILENT ~ off ]
A2: Say [ Text:SMS from Engine:Voice:default:default Stream:3 Pitch:5 Speed:5 Respect Audio Focus:On Network:Off Continue Task Immediately:Off ]
A3: If [ %SMSRN ~R [0-9] ]
A4: Say [ Text:unknown Engine:Voice:default:default Stream:3 Pitch:5 Speed:5 Respect Audio Focus:On Network:Off Continue Task Immediately:Off ]
A5: Else
A6: Say [ Text:%SMSRN Engine:Voice:default:default Stream:3 Pitch:5 Speed:5 Respect Audio Focus:On Network:Off Continue Task Immediately:Off ]
A7: End If
A8: Say [ Text:%SMSRB Engine:Voice:default:default Stream:3 Pitch:5 Speed:5 Respect Audio Focus:On Network:Off Continue Task Immediately:Off ]
A9: End If

I use chompSMS to access SMS messages. I don't know if it would help your situation or not.
