Here is the best help that I can provide you with, accounting for your other questions:
In the "MATLAB" section, you will find the following documents:
  • PDF labeled "MATLAB Primer".
  • PDF labeled "Mathematics".
  • PDF labeled "Programming Fundamentals".
After reading these and training so you have a fair understanding of the material, you'll be able to do much more by yourself without asking for "(complete) source code".

To get you started, look at the documentation for the following functions:
doc strfind %to find whether a string is present
doc fileread %to read a text file all at once into a variable

A=fileread(filename)
B=strfind(A, WordString)
I would suggest looking at the strfind() function for more information.

Mahdi and I just gave you functions to get you started. What further source code do you need? Keep in mind that this forum will not simply write code for you (especially because this seems a lot like homework).
