The text searched for was found on the following lines in the file:
This sample shows you how to search a text file for a phrase.
As it is currently implemented, it displays the complete file
being searched with the search phrase highlighted and lists
the line numbers on which the search phrase was found at the bottom.
The search is case sensitive and seems to work quite quickly. I've
tested it on files with up to 10,000 lines and about 250 KB and the
results still come back pretty darn fast.
One final note... although we list the line numbers on which
the text is found, we don't actually keep track of the number
of occurances of the search phrase found in the file. If the
text is on the same line multiple times, the line number is
still listed just once.
