Pull a block of text from the file, and then parse it with a regular expression. I think that you can do it in JS, but that's beyond me.

You can use javascript to check for certain characters in a txt file. Simply pull the block of text from the text file, and then use this javascript function:

var CharactertoLookFor = "%";
var StringtoLookIn = "abcdefghijklm%nopqrstuvwxyz"
StringtoLookIn.search(CharactertoLookFor);

If you open up ZP project maker, and then open the Javascript Tester and paste that into it and press play, you'll see it returns a number (that number is where the characters appears in the string).

If you remove the "%" from "StringtoLookIn" and press play, you'll see that it returns "-1" as the number, which means it couldn't find the character. To use this for what you wanted, you would replace the "abcdefgh...etc" with the execution result of the macro that pulled the block of text from the text file, and the "%" with the character you were looking to see if existed.

Then you'd use a logic operation to say:

if X = -1 do this (character not found)
if X != -1 do this (character found)
