search in a file

[boltc 0]

i want to let my program do this:

reads a file, and then search for a word.. is that possible?

sorry for my very bad english

one way to do that would be (in pseudo-code):

Open the file

Start a Loop
   If you have gotten to the end of the file then exit your loop

   Read a line from the file
   Search that line for the word you are looking for
       If you find it then do whatever it is that you want to do

Loop back to the start

Close your file

Look in the help file for words like:

FileOpen()

FileReadLine()

StringInStr()

FileClose()

the next problem is the following:

i want to read a *.dat file..

but when the program reads a line like:

PluginDisableÞÊÞMs Yep, I'm here. - provided by Wake

then it only reads this:

PluginDisableÞÊÞMs

it stops when the comes...

so the program still not find what i want...

how can i fix this?
