find a string in a file

Hello all again.
I need to parse a big file to find a string. So I open it for reading (infile) and gets each line and compare it to my string... but it takes a quite long time..
Is there a way to fo it faster? Is there a function to find a string in a file...
Thanks.

Hi,

I suggest that you do this outside Skill. If using XP, try using the findstr command.
eg:

system("findstr Unison c:\\Cadence\\SPB_16.0\\Update.ini") returns 0 if the text is found, 1 if not.

Cheers, Dave

I've found it handy to hand off certain functions such as text parsing to a PERL program from within SKILL and pick up the output from PERL and continue in the SKILL program.

Hello all.
Thanks Dave for your reply. I tried the way you suggest but the problem is that system procedure opens a visible command window under XP each time it is called.
So it's not convenient.
In fact, it seems to be long, so I added a form with informations changind according to what the process does and it now seems faster ;-)
