but i'm just useless
STOP THAT!
You are not useless, you have been dropped in it.
Describe the problem to yourself, in writing, in English (or Gaelic, or whatever). Look at the data. How do you choose the data to extract? Describe that in natural language, then you might try converting that into a regular expression, if one is needed. If regular expressions make you weak at the knees then that probably means you are normal - but you can always ask here.
You might start with very simple code reading one line at a time then just printing them out, then gradually refine what it is that you are printing. Once you have what you are looking for then try writing into a spreadsheet. Or create a CSV and manually load it. Small steps.
