Try this:

#include <File.au3>

$PATH = InputBox("FILE","Please select path",@ScriptDir & "\file.txt")
$WORD=InputBox("WORD", "Search for word")
$FILE=FileOpen($PATH, 0)
For $INDEX = 1 To _FileCountLines($PATH)
    $LINE = FileReadLine($FILE,$INDEX)
    If StringInStr($LINE,$WORD,1) <> 0 Then Msgbox(0, "FOUND", "I found your word in line " & $INDEX)
Next
FileClose($FILE)

Well there are a few ways to do it one is to read and display all lines

$word=InputBox("word", "word")

$f=FileOpen("file.txt", 0)

$br=0

While 1

$l = FileReadLine($f)

If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop

MsgBox(0, "Line read:", $l)

Wend

FileClose($f)

if lines are numbered you can searc the number line instead

$word=InputBox("word", "word")

$f=FileOpen("file.txt", 0)

$br=0

While 1

$l = FileReadLine($f)

If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop

$br+=1

if stringinstr($br, $word, 1)<>0 then Msgbox(0, "found", "Contents of line " & $br)

Wend

FileClose($f)

remembering line 1 will be 0 until it runs through the first time

eg file.txt contains

Hi

Moo

Now

$br will go

$br = 0 (Hi)

$br = 1 (Moo)

$br = 2 (Now)

just trial a few ways to search and display

FileReadLine($file,2)

[CrazyGenius]

FileReadLine($file,2)

[yucatan]

FileReadLine($file,2)

just remember if you need to make it a variable you will be able to search it like in my second example

if stringinstr($br, $word, 1)<>0 then Msgbox(0, "found", "Contents of line " & $br) ; it will run till $br hits the same number

or you can just go

$word=InputBox("word", "word")

$f=FileOpen("file.txt", 0)

$l = FileReadLine($f,$word)

Msgbox(0, "found", "Contents of line " & $l)

FileClose($f)

and add inputbox to get a user typed file there are many ways to go about it
