Best Way Compare string to list of strings(RESOLVED) -

Trying to figure out the best way to approach this.

Basically I need to compare files(different each time) against a list of other strings to see if the file contains any of the strings(will be adding new ones to the list as I go on). I'll try to explain a bit more. For an example let's say I have 10 files and a list of 20 strings to look for. Keep in mind that when running live it will be processing 100's of files and looking for maybe 100+ strings so I want to make sure I code it optimal.

Not sure the best way to store the list to check for because I want it to be easy to add new ones to. Does it make sense to store in listbox and add new ones to it. Read file1 into a variable, loop the listbox items and check for Instr on the file1 contents, then read file2 and do the same thing?

Seems like there would be a better way to handle this.

Any suggestions appreciated.
