Is there a way to search a file for a certain word or phrase using Baja?

If I was to write to a file, I want to check that file for duplicate phrases before the write is done to eliminate dupicate entries. Is this possible in Baja?

I've read through the File I/O functions in the Baja Documentation and found nothing that will search a file for a specific word or phrase.

Thanks,

I think you will have to build your own search function out of File I/O primitives.

The only Baja function that will do this is the trashcan function, but it will only search text/*.can files.
