Searching Lines Within Txt File

[Chobyhy]

I'm trying to make a function where someone searches at least 1 word in the line, it will display the whole line.

Example:

Line1: Test asfa1515as fasdf125

Line2: asdf12 45478df1 1111

Is there a way if someone inputs "Test" into an inputbox for a search, that whole Line 1 gets displayed?

I dont think StringInStr would work since that only returns the position.

You could probably use something like _FileReadToArray with a loop to do what your after.

#include <File.au3>

Dim $lines

$search = InputBox("Enter Search String", "Enter the string your looking for...")

_FileReadToArray(@ScriptDir & "\testFile.txt", $lines) ;<-- needs a file called testFile.txt in the same directory as the script

For $x = 1 To $lines[0] ;loops through each line in the text file
    If StringInStr($lines[$x], $search) Then ;reads each line of the file for the search
        MsgBox(64, "Match Found", "Found a match on line " & $x & ". The line is: " & @CRLF & $lines[$x]) ;prompt showing line number and full line
    EndIf
