That code will allow you to do what you want.
Examples:
Text file includes:
this is a test - 123.345.567.789
this is not a test - 234.546.123.56
neither is this - 546.234.123.64
44 but this is a test - 354.78.23.1
487 - 784.354.487.64
!search this
* returns the first 4 lines
!search test
* returns lines 1,2,4
!search 4
* returns lines 4,5
As a note, however, your first section cannot contain a hypen in it like this:
let's-go-do-this - 234.36.123.34
If you want to allow hyphens in the first section, change the - divider between the two sections to something that won't be used in the first section and then change the hyphen in *-* to whatever you're using.
