Like Wims said, you can use /filter and then $read the output .txt

Alternatively, you could do a dirty method like...
Code:
alias {
  var %line = 1
  while ($read(filename.txt,w,apple*,%line)) {
    echo -a $read(filename.txt,w,apple*,%line)
    var %line = $calc($readn +1)
  }
}

That sets the line to start the next wildcard match from to the one after the previous matched line ($readn).
