Hey guys hoping you could help me out with this:

String of text:
'CMD/A="RES_ACTIVATE" MID/A="vfei2W0206" MTY/A="C" TID/U4=373 TYPE/A="RECIPE" RES_ID/A="E.299.30" PORT_ID/B=1 MBC_ID1/A="419253901.000" MBC_ID2/A="BLANK"'

Search for:
Line of text looking to pull search for "RECIPE"

If true then results:
then results the "E.299.30"
and next column "419253901.000"
 
This should handle more than enough extractions based on your most recent description, tested up to 5 extractions.

Assuming data starts at A1, formula in B1 copied down and across as far as needed:
