| Does anybody know how to help? Any scripting language is good, as long as 
it runs on Windows_7 (WinXP could be nice).

| Any advice ?

  It's simple, but it's a lot of steps and it sounds like
you want something pre-made. You can get the Windows
Script Host help file to guide you. The object
Scripting.FileSystemObject provides methods to
open a file as a Textstream object, then read that out as
a text string. It all provides methods to access the folder
hierarchy as objects. The Instr method allows you to
check for the presence of "Function-1" in the string you
get from Textstream.ReadAll. (Don't pay any attention
to Evertjan. He's a regular expressions fanatic. He'd
recommend that to get your laundry clean. :)

  That should be enough info to start. If you want someone
else to write it, for free, you may have awhile to wait.
