How can i search a text file for a string

[daxstec]

Hi all,

I have the following problem, I need a function which helps me to operate on:

$file = FileRead("D:\Script\script.au3")

in order to find a given string in this file. How to do it as simple as possible ?

Thanks !

StringInStr() <- Help File.

Thank you very much, I must think over how to make the documentation of AutoIt3 more easy in use and propagate great tool AutoIt3 which has ofcourse a negative sides but nothing is perfect.

Thank you once more !

This should do it:

$file = FileRead("D:\Script\script.au3")
$result = StringInStr($file, "String To Find")

if $result then
    MsgBox(0, "Found it", "Found it at character position: " & $result)
Else
    MsgBox(0, 'Not Found', "String Not Found")
EndIf

Guess I replied just as you saw the "Look in the help file"
