File Search(inside the file)?

[Kreatorul]

I want to search a text/html document for a given string and in return I want to see the line number of where the string is located. Like $search=FileSearch("autoit", "c:/games/blahblah.txt") and then MsgBox("Autoit", "Autoit was found in line $search"). Maybe there's a function like that in autoit and I couldn't find it and searching the forums doesn't return exact results.

What you'll need:

[*] FileOpen

[*] FileRead

[*] StringInStr and/or StringRegExp

Then some way to determine which line it's on. I'd try something like this

$chunk = StringLeft($fileContents, $stringFound)
StringReplace($chunk, @LF, '')
$lineFound = @extended
