How to read file from specific word in php?

How to read a specific word from a line in a text file vb express 2010?

• Im trying to create a program that will read a simple txt file and locate a specific word. If that word exists I want it to print the whole line of txt to a textbox. I already know and understand how to read a file line by line, but because my files are printed differently depending on what im doing, reading line by line is not helping at all. So basically, I want to find a line of text starting with a word lets call it "Data" and print that whole line of text to a text box. I have googled and read forums for days with no avail. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

• Answer:

  Please post a small amount of sample rows and include the row that you want to be found. Personally, for this task, I would use regular expressions. Regular expressions make short work of parsing and getting the rows you want from a text file. A free dot net expression tool can be found here: http://regexhero.net/ http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/022603-1.aspx You can change szExpression in the links below search for any of the text you want to search like for Bit rate.
