If I’m not wrong, the guy asked how to search for specific matches in TEXTS like we have in INI files. Maybe his english is not that good and mine as well, but i think everyone is going to INI direction and he asked for something else…

I have asked the wrong question on a few occasions as well (most recent one on SO: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12338486/how-to-simulate-windows-theme-behaviour-when-tcombobox-uses-csownerdrawfixed-or).
Sometimes you will find out while asking, sometimes you need a couple of comments/answers to realize.
