open the text file for input. Read the text file into a string value one line at a time, and then look for your string using the instr() function... example
Code:
dim strTemp as string
dim Found as boolean
Found = False
Open "C:\YourTextFile.text" for input as #1
Do Until EOF(1)
Line Input #1, strTemp
if instr(strTemp,"Your string to find") > 0 then
Found = True
Exit Do
End if
Loop
Close #1
