I guess I am not understanding the question. What do you mean? Are you only going to deal with one line at a time or can the text be spread across serveral lines? If you are looking to see what line it starts on the you can get the position of where you string starts and count how many "vbcrlf"'s are before your statring position. That will give you starting line. You can also count how many are in and after your string that would tell you how many lines your string expands and how many lines are after it.
