If you just want to know if the address is in there, you could just use
'offset', a non-zero result says it is.
if offset(theText,theAddress) then pItsInThere = TRUE
If you need to know what line it's on (assuming the text file has one
address per line), find the number of lines in the text file from char 1
to the offset + 1
