Hi,
I've been browsing the web for a bit now, trying to find some help
on trying to find files that contains a particular string
For example, I would like to find all the files that contain
'I325010' with either a, b, c, d, e, f, etc all the way to z, on
the end.
Then be able to use each file that has been found in turn.
Thank you in advance for an help given.

If your search string remains 'I325010' then you could always just
use grep to check for it..
Assuming you're already read your file into a variable (I've used str
as the variable name)
set str to "asthisis a string with the search number in it
asdfsI325010asdflkjasdlkfj"
set stringFound to true
try
do shell script "echo " & (quoted form of str) & " | grep
'I325010' "
on error
set stringFound to false
end try
if stringFound is true then
-- do your stuff here
display dialog "woohoo!"
end if
