Hello,

I want to search some data in a text file, that file has text
and data both. But i don't know how can we search some particular
words in whole text file, Is there any function with which we can
find any string in the text file.

If anyone could help it would be very greatful.
Thanks

I did:

fid=fopen(filename);
<stuff>
while feof(fid)==0
line=fgetl(fid);
if ~isempty(findstr(line,searchstring))
<stuff>

The bit in the if statement decides whether the text you are
interested in is there.

Very low-level programming, this, but it works. Admittedly not very
elegant, so I hope someone comes up with something better.

Thanks alot, I hope this will work for me.
