How to quickly find if a word exists or not in a text file?

Hi,

My Java needs to check a log file to see if things are correct. If there
is a word, "successfully", then it is correct. I hate to read in each
line, parse it into tokens, and check each token. Is there a better way
to do it?

Thank you.

If you use log4j you can create your own intercepting appender that
alerts you when the "successfully" message is placed into the log file.

Break into tokens? How about using String.indexOf() instead?

How about using indexOf or regex? Better yet, is there any way the
log-writting process can indicate success/failure through another more
direct means? Such as return code?
