find a certain line (repetitive line with no identifier) in txt file vba

Dear vba experts,
I have a text file which I am attaching in this thread. It is a file which contains information for a certain Traffic Junction. The file contains several junctions. The header of the text file will have the following information:

I need to extract the numbers 1,2, etc... which represents the junction number, and since there is no string identifier i.e. Intersection number before the "1,2", I don't know how to search for them using InStr command. I am attaching the text file for a full picture of the text file.

This tests if a colon is found in the left three characters of a line. Then extracts the text before the colon.

That is a good idea, however if the numbers are 3 digits and 2 digits this wouldn't work. right?

It should work if you check the left 4 characters assuming 3 is the max digits.
