Scanning log file for content

[Brent Burkart]

I am using a streamreader to read a log file into my application. Now I
want to be able to scan for error messages, such as "failed", "error",
"permission denied", so I can take action such as send an email.

I am not quite sure how to approach this as far as scanning the content.

I currently read all of the contents in using the following

Dim contents As String = objStreamReader.ReadToEnd()

Then display it in a label.

Has anyone done this or can you point me in a direction.

Thanks,
Brent
