Default Extracting lines containing specific word.

Hello.

I quite desperately need some assisstance. I am trying to collate information together to be used as supporting evidence for a visa application.

The evidence is essentially just copied and pasted to word facebook messages (need to establish a relationship has existed). There are 2.5 thousand pages of messages.

What I want to do is get rid of the message part, and just extract the line which contains the sender and time/date info. For example, a message appears like this:

Gracias!!


Sender, time and date info on one line, followed by the message. My thoughts are that it is possible to use the UTC to extract the line. So any line containing the phrase 'UTC' could be extracted? I have basic VBA knowledge, but I'm super rusty.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
