Carriage return in .txt file - VBA Macros

Question

I need to extract data (the 'TOTAL TRAVEL (ALLOWANCES & AIRFARES & Car Hire)' aka sMarker5 to be exact) from all the .txt files from a directory, and my current code will work for amount less than $1,000 for the line. I am guessing it's because files with >$1,000 against this line is always after a carriage return. So my question is... how should I modify my code so that it will work for any amount?

My next question is... I also need to extract data for 'Car Hire', however, the term 'Car Hire' appears various times (not a constant T_T) before the one I actually wanted ('Car Hire $#.##', located near the end of the .txt file)... is there a way I can achieve that with my code?

Thanks heaps in advance!!!

UPDATE:

I tried to apply David's code to another problem: to capture the line "TOTAL TRAVEL (ALLOWANCES & AIRFARES & Car Hire)" that sometimes have the dollar value after a return (see code above, it works for lines without the return - i.e. dollar amount less than $1,000). However, after I modified the code with David's suggestion... I get a Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument against the TOTALTRAVEL = InStrRev(text, sMarker5, endParse) line...

I am not sure what I done wrong...

I think you need the second to last occurrence of Car Hire.

Try this:

Add some new constants in your GrabData routine.

Const sMarker8 As String = "Car Hire"
'This is what comes AFTER "Car Hire". It only appears once in the example file
Const sTerminate As String = "PDTA (Payable via salary)"  

Then, you can compute the position of your Car Hire using those two strings:

'Find out what comes AFTER "Car Hire"
endParse = InStr(1, text, sTerminate)
'Now, work backwards from that position to find the first instance of "Car Hire" 
' that appears *before* the sTerminate string.
CarHire = InStrRev(text, sMarker8, endParse)

Then, using Mid and Replace, you can pull out the numeric portion for Car Hire:

oRng.Offset(1, 12).Value = Replace( _
        Trim(Mid(text, CarHire, endParse - CarHire), sMarker8, vbNullString))

In the example file, this returns $0.00

I think this should work even if the dollar amount is separated by a carriage return.
