i get solution in LUA forum

mytable = "AutoPlay\\Docs\\test.log"
myString = TextFile.ReadToString(mytable);
count = 0
local patern = "name"
for i in string.gfind(myString, patern) do
   count = count + 1
end
local _, count = string.gsub(myString, patern, "")
result = Dialog.Message("Notice", "Total : :"..count..", MB_OK, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);

may be useful for the other.
there may be someone else who can provide solutions with different methods.
