Search File In Directory For Text

OK I am trying to get this to work.

I am looking for a code snippit that searches the files in a specified directory for text that is inputed by the user then adds the files that contain that text to a list box

any help will be appreciated

try this:

vb Code:

For Each file As String In IO.Directory.GetFiles("directory path", "*.txt")
    Dim lines() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines(file)
    For x As Integer = 0 To lines.GetUpperBound(0)
        If lines(x).Contains(TextBox1.Text) Then
            Debug.Print(file)
        End If
    Next
Next
Debug.Print("done")

this might be slightly better:

vb Code:

For Each file As String In IO.Directory.GetFiles("directory path", "*.txt")
    Dim fileText As String = IO.File.ReadAllText(file)
    If fileText.Contains(TextBox1.Text) Then
        Debug.Print(file)
    End If
Next
Debug.Print("done")
