Going Crazy

No it's not. 

It is essentially the same as

Stringregexp($data, '\b\Q' & $Password & '\E\b')

as suggested earlier.

The OP's problem was not making the match restrictive enough.

I understand! That is the part I was missing (not restrictive enough). Thank you everyone! Both examples worked!

Obviously, the OP can use stringinstr() then verify with ==

Stringregexp($data, '\b\Q' & $password & '\E\b')

Hmmm... this regex matches "p@" in "p@g@"

Yes... We should have an example of what the text file contains.

the text file contains

_password_
siteip-192.168.10.105
unl

I ended up putting underscores on both sides of the password and then used the following code

$chckpass = StringInStr($datafile, "_" & $password & "_")
        If $chckpass > 0 Then

I used a ">" in the "If" statement because the StringInStr will return a number greater than 0 if there is a match. This seems to be working for me. Should I be aware of any problems this route may cause? Oh I didn't try case sensitive.

StringRegExp($datafile, "(?m)^Q" & $password & "E$")

 

Edit:

An ini file makes much more sense here after seeing the above file format.

For the record, if the return is 0 it resolves to false. Anything else resolves to True.

So 

If $chckpass Then

Is perfectly acceptable.

[jguinch]

So we guess that the line where the password appears contains ONLY the password ?

Edit : If it is the case, SmOke_N's previous code should work
