search for a specific string of text and then return the line number?

[jhancock]

I'm looking for the best way in QT to search for a specific string of text and then return the line number.
For example I have a txt file that has the following in it:

1 Detroit Tigers
2 Chicago White Sox
3 Minnesota Twins

I want to search for the word Twins and return the string 3.

Any ideas??

Thanks

read the file line by line in and check every line for your pattern. This is probably the fastest way.
