Need Help Extracting Alpha Numeric Data

Your assistance will be greatly appreciated:

In a field named "Comments" I need to extract a error code that begins with
E and a four digit number. (i.e E2301 and E1003)
I am trying to use the instr command (Error:
Mid([Comments],InStr([Comments],"E"),5)) but I can't figure how I can add
the various digits that may appear. The valid codes will appear from E0000
to E9999.
As you can see in the first line will produce a result ERROR and not E2301
as I would like.
