Question about file content checking

[icon315]

Is there a way of checking whether a file contains a certain string? I've tried some out, like:

string url = visit_url("file:///C:/Users/Noe Canales/Desktop/Kol/data/shot.txt");	
if(contains_text(url, "icon315"))
print("YES!");

and

string [int] shooters;
		file_to_map( "hearted.txt" , shooters);
		
		if(contains_text(shooters, "icon315"))
		print("YES!");

None work though


NOTE: GAH! Title Typo

Wouldn't you need to do a foreach or something like that to parse through the map?

You should use file_to_map(), and since the content of the file is loaded into a map, you should check like this:

string [int] shooters;
file_to_map( "hearted.txt" , shooters );

foreach i, str in shooters
        if( contains_text( str, "icon315" ) )
                print("YES!");

Thanks. If only I was better at maps.

EDIT:
Ok i can't seem to get this working, i know i screwed up completely somehow, so here is a snippet of my script which shows how i use it.

string [int] creamers;
		file_to_map( "creamed.txt" , creamers);
		
			if(THIS COMMAND IS ACTIVATED){
				foreach i, str in creamers //Part which needs 
				if( !contains_text( str, check.to_lower_case() ) ) //Fixing
				{
					//DO STUFF
				}
				else
				{
					//DO OTHER THINGS
				}

I do not understand this code. At all.

Made it more simple...removed the unneeded info

Like this, it should work ^^

It started working now...But it seems to do the "else" part even if the "if" statement is true
EDIT: I see what is going on. This is what the .txt file looks like atm:

0	icon315
1	slyz

Since the first part contains "icon315", it does the "else" part, but the second part does not contain "icon315" so it does the "if" part. How would i make it so that it looks overall if the whole file has "icon315"?

It's checking the condition (and doing stuff or other stuff) for each line of the file.
Is suspect you want something like

int numFound = 0;
foreach i, str in creamers
if ( contains_text( str, check.to_lower_case() ) )
{
  numFound += 1;
}

if (numFound == 0)
{
                    //DO STUFF
}
else
{
                    //DO OTHER THINGS
}

(but this is duck)

YAY! It works, thanks for all the help.

Or you can do it Zarqon style:

string [int] creamers;
file_to_map( "creamed.txt" , creamers);

boolean map_contains( string [ int ] map, string text )
{
	foreach i, str in map
	{
		if ( str.contains_text( text ) ) return true;
	}
	return false;
}

if ( !map_contains( creamers, "icon315" ) )
{
	//DO STUFF
}
else
{
	//DO OTHER THINGS
}

I guess it worked ^^
