searching for a line of text in a text file

[legos]

i have a text file with thousands of lines
each line contains an id number
is there a way i can search for this ID number in the text file without searching each line individually.
say i need to find the ID number 4232101102 the number line it is on is unknown. How can i go directly to that line?

If your text file is well structured you may try to link a table to it and then use a query.

Hope This Helps, PH.
