$file = FileOpen("test.txt", 0)

; Check if file opened for reading OK
If $file = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf

Dim $Source = ""

; Read in lines of text until the EOF is reached
While 1
    $line = FileReadLine($file)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    $Source = $Source & $line
Wend

FileClose($file)

If (StringInStr($Source, "connected at 56000bps"))
 Then
;text is there
Else
;it isn't

How about...

$FileName = "something.txt"
$file = FileOpen($FileName, 0)

; Check if file opened for reading OK
If $file = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf

$Source = FileRead($FileName,FileGetSize($FileName))

FileClose($file)

If StringInStr($Source, "connected at 56000bps") Then
 ;text is there
Else
 ;it isn't
EndIf

I used J's example above but shortend it abit. Actaully I think you can just do this...

$FileName = "something.txt"

$Source = FileRead($FileName,FileGetSize($FileName))

If StringInStr($Source, "connected at 56000bps") Then
 ;text is there
Else
 ;it isn't
EndIf

And with a function :

Func _iFunctionIfStringFound()
    MsgBox(0 + 64, "Info", "String found", 10)
    Exit
EndFunc

Func _iFunctionIfStringNotFound()
    MsgBox(0 + 64, "Info", "String not found", 10)
    Exit
EndFunc

Func _FindStringInTextfile($iFile, $iString, $iFunctionIfStringFound, $iFunctionIfStringNotFound)
    $FileName = $iFile
    $Source = FileRead($FileName,FileGetSize($FileName))
    If StringInStr($Source, $iString) Then
        Call($iFunctionIfStringFound)
    Else
        Call($iFunctionIfStringNotFound)
    EndIf
EndFunc

_FindStringInTextfile("test.txt", "Xavier", "_iFunctionIfStringFound", "_iFunctionIfStringNotFound")

In the Text file :

Pauline
Raphaelle
Céline
Mariane

==> Give : not found

If I understand you, just search for "date:" instead of "connected at 56000bps", get the position of "date:", trim off that bit, then StringLeft($Source, 8) will give you the date part.

pseudocode:

While STringLen($Source) > $MinimumUsabelStringLen

$PosOfDate = StringinStr($Source, "date:")

$Source = StringTrimLeft($Source, $PosOfDate + StringLen("date:") - 1)

$DateValue = StringLeft($Source, StringLen("xx/xx/xx"))

$Source = StringTrimLeft($Source, "trim some more off")

Wend
