Well, not complicated. You will have to open the file:
Code:
Open app.path & "\bob.txt" for binary as #1 'Open the file for bianry access
get #1,1,strHolder 'get, starting at byte one, and place in strHolder
close #1 'close the file
Once its been placed in strHolder, you can use the InStr fucntion to search the string:
Code:
temp = instr(1,strHolder,"Bob") 'search the string for first occurance of "Bob"
This will return the character number of the strin "Bob" inside of strHolder. It will return 0 if not found.
Or you can use InStrRev(). The search begins from the end of string, but the position returned counts from the beginning of the string |
