Hello Brittany, I think the easiest thing for you to do is make each line a Document. You might want a FileName and LineNumber field on top of a "Text" field, this way if you need to gather all the lines of your File back together again you can do a search on the FileName.
So in your case: Document 1 FileName: [the file] LineNumber: 1 Text: I like apples Document 2 ...etc Regards, Roy On Fri, Aug 1, 2008 at 9:28 AM, Brittany Jacobs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Just trying to grasp the concept. > > > > I want to search a text file where each line is a separate item to be > searched.
