How does one search for a string in a stream and then print it? By this I mean with the use of createReadStream. I figured out how to find strings in readFile with the use of indexOf, but I am reading that using streams are more efficient.

More specifically, I've been trying to find a string within a stream, and then print out the whole line that contains the string. However the following keeps giving me errors

fs.createReadStream(process.argv[2], function (err, data) {
      data.indexOf ...

Currently, my program prints out the entire stream rather than just the lines containing the strings.

var http = require('http'); 
var fs = require('fs');

var server = http.createServer( function(req, res) {

console.log("Request received.");

res.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
res.write("Hello World\n\n\n");

var s = fs.createReadStream(process.argv[2]).pipe(res); 

s.on('end', function(){ res.end() }) 


});
server.listen(8000);

Streams are buffered, so the buffers passed to the data event (which you would normally listen to) aren't in any way split into, or delimited on, separate lines.

You can use the readline module to perform line-by-line searching:

var fs        = require('fs');
var readline  = require('readline');

var server = http.createServer( function(req, res) {
  console.log("Request received.");

  res.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
  res.write("Hello World\n\n\n");

  readline.createInterface({
    input     : fs.createReadStream(process.argv[2]),
    terminal  : false
  }).on('line', function(line) {
    var idx = line.indexOf(THE_SUBSTRING);
    if (idx !== -1) {
      res.write(line + '\n');
    }
  }).on('close', function() {
    res.end();
  });
});

(EDIT: readline strips newlines, so res.write adds one back)

You can use this module to search string in a stream without buffering
