Author Read specific word in a text file

Dear All

I need to read some words from a file. These words are in many places in a
file but marked between certain characters like <word1,word2 > .

Could you please tell me how to look for these specific words in a file?

Most appreciated,
Yass

Simplest is to read the whole file into memory and use InStr$()
repetitively.

If too large for that, another level of looping will be required, but is
still straight forward.
