Solution 1

Cannot you just compare the two strings (the one inserted in the text box and the one read from the table)?
What kind of 'table' are you referring to?
:)

Solution 2

If by table you mean database table, the answer is obviously SQL. select count(*) from myTable where myfield='mytext'

Of course, you should do this in your data layer and not build your SQL by string mashing.
