To fix the issue you can do Trying to do a recursive search through all .txt files for a specific word and return the path of the file where the text was found and the context text line. , If you're on PowerShell version 3.0 or better, you can do this:

code :

Get-ChildItem -Path $Path -Filter "*.txt" -File -Recurse -Force |
    Select-String -Pattern $Text0 | 
    Select-Object Path, Line

Get-ChildItem -Path $Path -Filter "*.txt" -Recurse -Force | 
    Where-Object { !$_.PsIsContainer } |
    Select-String -Pattern $Text0 | 
    Select-Object Path, Line, LineNumber

Path                    Line 
----                    ---- 
D:\test\blah.txt        this is the line that contains sometext.
D:\test\anotherfile.txt sometext

How do I get line previews in Eclipse's context intelligent 'Java Search' (vs. context unaware 'File Search')

this one helps. As far as I know, the Eclipse Java Development Tools (JDT) still (2017!) do not offer such a “one line” or “one expression” preview. There is a third-party plug-in, however, that has this feature: Ctrlflow Code Search Professional.
This screenshot from its manual shows you how the results would look like:

I wish did fix the issue. You can just read a line of file and write to another new file. Like this:

code :

import re

#open new file with append
nf = open('newfile', 'at')

#open file with read 
with open('file', 'rt') as f:
    for line in f:
        r = re.match(r'\$INGGA', line)
        if r is not None:
            nf.write(line)
            nf.write("$INHDT,31.9,T*1E" + '\n')

I think the issue was by ths following , So, I want to use the number I get from it in this: , I would try something like this:

code :

query = gets.chomp
database.each_line.with_index do |line, index|
  if line.include?(query)
    puts "Line #{index}: #{line}" 
  end
end

Search through text file and return a line of text

around this issue As Alex B has stated in comments, line If strLine.Contains("textbox1.text") should be If strLine.Contains(strSearchTerm)
Also you are not passing in the search item to the function. The below line you have passed in the string textbox1.text as a string rather than the text inside the textbox. Hence why you never find the line you are searching for and always returns the last record of your file.

Is there a way to use findstr to search for a value and return the line that value is on within a text file?

hope this fix your issue I want to find a value within a text file that has 120+ lines of values, then set the line that the value was found on as a variable so i can go back and replace the value in the text file with another value.
