Default Macro / VBA Help

Hello,
Excel 2007 Macro Help needed :)

I have a spreadsheet with a macro that imports a .CSV file, formats the
columns and does some search / replace. That part of the macro works fine.
The spreadsheet also has one column that contains text I would like to place
in other columns on the same row. Let me give an example.

In the example below, Column D is the column I would like to parse. It
contains a ton of text. Pieces of the text I would like in column B. Other
pieces in Column C. (For all rows in the sheet.) (For this simple example, I
would want to have the information between "abc" and "more text" appear in
ColumnB and the information After "more text" appear in ColumnC.

ColumnA ColumnB ColumnC ColumnD

Blah abc123 more text 999
Blah 2 abc456 more text 347

Would become...

ColumnA ColumnB ColumnC ColumnD

Blah 123 999 abc123 more text 999
Blah 2 456 347 abc456 more text 347

I know I could do this in Access with the Instr function, but I would prefer
an excel macro. I just cannot seem to get it right. (Oh, the number of rows
could be different every time)

Thanks,
