How can I check if a cell contains a certain word, than if it does copy the next numbers to another cell?

Cell P15 contains a bunch of job notes like the following:

"PROGRAM # 7046
LVL # 001
PANEL DOOR INNER DIVAN 650
INCLUDES 72.67 INCHES OF 5-AXIS TRIM
CUSTOMER TO SUPPLY .047 IN. THK. CARBON FIBER FORMED PARTS
PART SHARES A COMMON FIXTURE WITH 39593
RESET-UP OF JOB #17052
GREEN TRIM LINE ON CUSTOMER FIXTURE"

What I need to do is get the program number (7046 in this case) and populate textbox1 on a userform with it. Also, I would like to populate textbox 2 with the lvl number (001 in this case). how would I go about doing this? My first thought was to search for the terms "PROGRAM" & "LVL" within the cell, but I dont know how to select what I need after that. Program number isnt always on the first line & I have seen them use "PRG" sometimes, so it gets even more complicated...

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
Whew, that was a bit complex, but think I have something that may work. It's assuming that "PROGRAM #" or "PRG #" precedes the program# and "LVL #" precedes the level#

In Q15 place:
Code:
=LEFT(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(MID(P15,IFERROR(FIND("PROGRAM #",P15),IFERROR(FIND("PRG #",P15),0)),30),"PROGRAM #",""),"PRG #","")),FIND(" ",TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(MID(P15,IFERROR(FIND("PROGRAM #",P15),IFERROR(FIND("PRG #",P15),0)),30),"PROGRAM #",""),"PRG #",""))) -1)
In R15 place:
Code:
=LEFT(TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(MID(P15,IFERROR(FIND("LVL #",P15),0),30),"LVL #","")),FIND(" ",TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(MID(P15,IFERROR(FIND("LVL #",P15),0),30),"LVL #",""))) -1)
