I am trying to search a string for characters and then determine the line number of the characters that are located.

on mouseUp
put URL "binfile:c:\users\Demo\Desktop\Vanguard\Vanguard.htm" into Blah
if Blah contains "**" then answer the selectedLine
end mouseUp

Many Thanks Guys!!

Googie.

The lineoffset function will do a substring search and return the line number where found.
