This is very rudimentary code, but I'm pretty sure it will work for what you want to do

It assumes several things:
1) You have one name on each line in the text file, nothing more and nothing less
2) What you type into find(); will always have less or equal number of letters than the name on the line
3) What you type into find(); will always be part of a name, with no misspelled or misplaced characters

Hmm, this is not working.

--- Code: ---function getID(%name)
{
%file = new FileObject();
%file.openForRead("config/Client/ChatBot/BL_IDs.txt");

while(!%file.isEOF())
{
%badName = %file.readLine();
%ID = %file.readLine();
%blank = %file.readLine();

if(strStr(%badName, %name) != -1 && strLen(%name) <= strLen(%ID))
{
%file.close();
%file.delete();

return %ID;
}

%file.close();
%file.delete();

return %ID;
}

%file.close();
%file.delete();

return;
}

--- End code ---

Why have you tried to close the file (2 times) in the while statement?

Because it returns and when it returns it ends the function.

My point is that you don't need several returns

Edit: I just took a better look at your code. Why also are you setting three variables to %file.readLine();?

stripos("Hello my name is jes00","jes");
This would return 17.
