Looking through, can't find this as having been previously suggested.
I'd like to see built in functions similar to "find", and "findstr" in DOS, or "grep" and "awk" in Unix.
I'm finding that using shell to try and do "find" command is near impossible without putting the command in a batch file and calling the batch file. Using shell to run a findstr command has been working out ok, but it'd still be nice to have it built in.
I think I saw a UDF that expands ReadLine() to do something like this.. one for WriteLine() that does the opposite as well. That would be nice to have the expanded functionality of being able to read or write to a specific line, as well as have the option to either overwite that line, or add to either the beginning or end of the line. Or perhaps to be able to search through a document and replace a specified word.
Just some ideas.
