Does anyone have a JAVA script that will search for a string within a
string within a text file or HTML file?

Something that simulates this Basic language command:

INSTR (position, string1$,string2$)

if position>0 then string found

Also, does anyone have a JAVA script file that will printout a
modified file based on the string found within a string.

Thank you.

Try the indexOf method of the string.
Assume strHaystack is the string you're searching and strNeedle is the
string you're searching for:
if (strHaystack.indexOf(strNeedle) >= 0){
//code if the string was found.
}

I think it will also work in javascript - what a co-inky-dink
