How to find a string from a text file and load its line content

I am new to VB6 programming. I am trying to load a line from the whole text file that contains the string that I want.

1 abc
2 def
4 ghi
5 klm
6 opq

If my word to find is 'klm', I want the whole line '5 klm' in my string. How can I get it?

Assuming you have the filename in a variable sFileName:

Dim iFile as Integer
Dim sLine as String, sNewText as string

iFile = FreeFile

Open "C:\Folder\replacewithpath\db.txt" For Input As #iFile
Do While Not EOF(iFile)
  Line Input #iFile, sLine
  If sLine Like "*klm*" Then
   'sLine has got the line , use 
  End If
Loop
Close
