Its possible to search through a txt file?
I made a php script that open a txt file and writes on it but now i want to be able to search through the file and find whats it on it.
The txt file looks kind of like this


.........

ctl00$ctl00$cpMain$cpMain$Box$firs_name=THEIR_NAME

ctl00$ctl00$cpMain$cpMain$Box$last_name=THEIR_LAST_NAME

.....

What i want to do its that when the user search for their first name it will show them their last name. Its just an example.

Sorry for my bad english.

1. Read the file into a buffer either using fopen or filegetcontents
2. Search through the buffer

<?php

$file = "text.txt";
$open = fopen($file, "r");
$read = fread($open, filesize($file));

if(eregi("myWord", $read)) {
    
    echo "Found";
    
}else{
    
    echo "Not found";
    
}

?>
