another regular expression question

Hey guys,
I am new to regex, and don't know much about patterns.I am trying to match data on a specific line; believe it or not this is all on one line "P57_20711.txt 0000666 0000000 0000000 00012074176 0 Vcar H57002007102120 DOE CM1956904710 00. 2007110120071130 00000.00 00000.00 00168 " I am trying to remove everything from the letter "P" to "Vcar" including spacing and begin the line at the "H". I hear that the best way to do it is using regular expressions Any ideas?
Thanks

Does the location of the desired data within the line vary? If not, you can just use Mid() or Right() function to grab it. If it does move, you can probably still do it almost as simply by using Instr() function to find your flag string ("Vcar") then either of the abovementioned functions to retrieve the rest of the line.

I expect there may be a way to use regular expressions for this as well, but don't have any experience with them. (Seems like unnecessary complication, too.)
