Is there a command in 4NT that will search a file for a particular
  string and then allow the string following that to be read?

  I have seen commands that allow looking for a file that contains a
  string, but can't see that it does anything other than returning the
  file name.

  Explicitly I want to search a file for the string
  Attachment COnverted:
  and then take the string following that to use as a file name
  parameter into another command.

  I could write a C program to do this, but using 4NT would be easier.
