Needing VBA script for parsing text file and returning a date

[stephenr95]

I have multiple text files that I am having to open and record dates/times on an Excel sheet print out. I would like to have a script that can parse (read) those text files, finding certain words in a paragraph and return the date listed at the beginning of that paragraph?
