Dim $sText = 'Cat' & @CRLF & 'Dog' & @CRLF & 'Giraffa' & @CRLF & 'Bird' & @CRLF & _
             'Mesocricetus' & @CRLF & 'Parrot' & @CRLF & 'Etc..'
             

Dim $aLines = StringRegExp($sText, '(?>[^\r]*)(?:\r\n|$)', 3)

For $i = 0 To UBound($aLines)-1
    If StringInStr($aLines[$i], 'Mesocricetus') Then ExitLoop
Next

ConsoleWrite('Found Mesocricetus on line: ' & $i+1 & @LF)

Use StringSplit if you like, the line is not zero based.
