    Question Txt File "Selective Input"

    I need to scan a text file for lines that contain the word "error." The file gets to be rather large over time and don't I want to
    Code:
    Do Until EOF(iFile)
     Line Input #1, strLine
     'Process Here
Loop
    each time unless I have to.

    Is there a way to read in ONLY the lines that contain the selected text?

    Thanks!

    Sorry, but that's not possible... you'll still have to loop trough all the lines of text in the file. But you can optimize the code to make it faster... all you need is a "Line Input" and an "If Left(...) Then", more than that and it might get too slow.
    Code:
    Temp = Me.GetIQ()
'Error 9: Overflow
'DON'T PANIC! :eek:
