#include <array.au3>
$file = @ScriptDir & "\file.txt"
$search = "word"

If FileExists($file) Then
$contents = FileRead($file)
If @error Then
MsgBox(0, 'File Error', $file & ' could not be read.')
Else
For $i = 1 To $count
If StringInStr($contents, $search) Then
MsgBox(0, 'found', $file & ' does contain the text "' & $search & '"')
Else
MsgBox(0, 'Not', $file & ' does NOT contain the text "' & $search & '"')
EndIf
Next
EndIf
EndIf

PassionTime2013,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum. :)

But please pay attention to where you post - the "Developer Chat" section where you started this thread is not for general support questions. I have moved the thread for you, but would ask you to be more careful in future. ;)

PassionTime2013,

Now you have found yourself again, would you care to explain more clearly what it is you want to do? It seems that you have a text file containing some of the headings from the AutoIt Help file and you want to print something from it after searching for a word. Is that a good summary? :huh:

If you want to find out how many times a word is included in a text then use StringReplace - the count is returned in @extended as you can see here:

#include <Constants.au3>

$sString = "blah FRED blah blah blah FRED blah blah blah FRED blah blah blah blah FRED blah blah blah FRED blah blah blah"

StringReplace($sString, "fred", "")
$iCount = @extended

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Count", "'Fred' appears " & $iCount & " times in the string")
Is that any help? :)

PassionTime2013,

Then I suggest you put the search terms in an array so you can loop through them easily. Load the file into an array (_FileReadToArray) and then loop through that array checking each line for the required terms - if one of them is present, then copy that line to a new file (FileWriteLine). When all is done you will have a file containing the required lines which you can print at your leisure.

Give it a go and see how you get on - you know where we are if you run into problems. :)
