Searching stuff.

-----------------------------------

I want to search a text file for a string. Like a search engine, and want to get the line numbers of all matching lines, what would be the best way to do that? I've used grep to do it, but I think that makes my script OS dependent.

whatif you read each line into an array then search the array for the file and record the element number each word is in?
