    Help Needed to Extract Data from Text - Newest Challenge

    To my favorite experts - I need to enlist your assistance once again:

    I need to put together a timeline from the headers of email. I am copying and pasting the header into a cell.
    Is there any way to extract the information from line 2below? In this case, it would be returning: Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2014 8:43 AM
    Note: this data is all in one cell.


    "From: Souder, Dianne
    Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2014 8:43 AM
    To: Last Name, George
    Subject: FW: SOW for CompanyX 4.1 upgrade - need entry and into process for approval & legal review
    Importance: High"

    Thank you in advance for looking.

    Not difficult, but it would save time if you posted a sheet containing all the relevant stuff in one cell, as requested
    .
