I am doing something similar but in C     What you need to do is read the lines in one at a time and parse them  go over the words one by one    I have an outter loop that goes over all the lines and inside that is another loop that goes over all the words   Once the word you need is found  just exit the loop and return a counter or whatever you want   This is my code   It basically parses out all the words and adds them to the  index    The line that word was in is then added to a vector and used to reference the line  contains the name of the file  the entire line and the line number  from the indexed words   ifstream txtFile  txtFile open path  ifstream  in   char line 200     if path is valid AND is not already in the list then add it if txtFile is open    amp  amp   find textFilePaths begin    textFilePaths end    path     textFilePaths end       the path is valid         Add the path to the list of file paths     textFilePaths push back path       int lineNumber   1      while  txtFile eof                  txtFile getline line  200           Line   ln   new Line line  path  lineNumber           lineNumber            myList push back ln           vector lt string gt  words   lineParser ln           for unsigned int i   0  i  lt  words size    i                          index- gt addWord words i   ln                       result   true

When you are reading the file  have you considered reading it line by line  This would allow you to check if your line contains the file as your are reading  and you could then perform whatever logic you needed based on that   Scanner scanner   new Scanner  Student txt    String currentLine   while  currentLine   scanner readLine       null        if currentLine indexOf  Your String                     Perform logic           You could use a variable to hold the line number  or you could also have a boolean indicating if you have passed the line that contains your string   Scanner scanner   new Scanner  Student txt    String currentLine  int lineNumber   0  Boolean passedLine   false  while  currentLine   scanner readLine       null        if currentLine indexOf  Your String                     Do task          passedLine   true            if passedLine                 Do other task after passing the line            lineNumber
