Maybe you just want FileUtils.get_contents [1], it will return a
string that you can use as you like

string contents;
try {
  FileUtils.get_contents(filename, out contents);
} catch (FileError) {
  //handle appropriately
}

var info = contents.str('[INFO]');
if (info != null) {
  var needed_text = info.substring('[INFO]'.length);
  // do what you want with this
}

I haven't compiled this code, so there may be some problems with it,
but the idea is there.

HTH,
Abderrahim
