Default Pulling out lastest date in line of text

Hi,
I was wondering if it would be possible to do the following.
This would be used in a Macro.

If I had the following in a cell:
10/20/09 sent statement* 9/10/09 rec ck # 1358 $ 4000.00 sent to lb.
8/15/09 inv 135950 $700.00 can pending credits.

The problem is that the date is not always the first thing in the cell and I
am looking for the latest date in the text.

Is there a way to pull out just the latest date in the text in one column
and then the next column would be the text that follows the latest date.
As in the example above
1st column would have 9/10/09
2nd column would have rec ck # 1358 $4000.00 sent to lb. and the rest of the
text.
Thanks for looking for this
Donna Hauff
