A simple program I need to figure out...

[[BOOM]Headshot]

Hello all, I havent touched VB in a while, I have VB 6.0..
Basically all I'm trying to do is, Create code for a program to open up one specific document and search it for multiple words i.e hey hello howdy
I need it to support up to 20 words. Is this possible???

Welcome to the forums!

Are you talking about a text document, or some other type of file?

[[BOOM]Headshot]

A text document. Basically we have a counterstrike server... and We have logs for what people say. Instead of seaching them individually for words, I need to do it in forms of 20. will be in a wordpad doc.

you can use the richtextbox control to load the file and search for it.

to load a file just use:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
RichTextBox1.LoadFile "c:\my text.txt"
End Sub

If it's a textfile that's less than 64K, you can read it into a buffer, and use InStr() to search for a word. Do you have a list of words that you search for?
