Please suggest a script or solution?

I have to solve a programming problem for my wife who is engaged in Research in Breast Cancer.

1. She has frequently to search a long single line of alphabetic characters (lower case) for an exact match of a string.

e.g. mwaaagglwrsraglralfrsrdaalfpgcerglhcsavscknwlkkfasktkkkvwyespslgshstykpskleflmrstskktrkedharlralngll ykaltdllctpevsqelydlnvelskvsltpdfsacraywkttlsaeqnahmeavlqrsaahmslisywqsqtldpgmkettlykmisgtlmphnpaapq srpqapvcvgsimrrstsrlwstkggkikgsgawcgrgrwls

2. The ONLY two strings to be searched for are -

r-r--s
r-r--t

The - can be any of the following characters

acdefghiklmnpqrstvyz

3. Once an exact match has been made it is essential to know the number of characters from the start of the line inclusive of the 6 character string.

Can anyone suggest a program or script.

It is urgent.

Thanks

Nev

installsieve

INSTALLSIEVE(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   INSTALLSIEVE(1)

NAME

       installsieve - user utility for managing sieve scripts

SYNOPSIS

       installsieve

DESCRIPTION

       installsieve is a utility that allows users to manage their sieve scripts kept on the server.

OPTIONS

       -v <name> View script with the given name. The script if retrieved sucessfully is output to standard output.

       -l  List  all  of  the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active a arrow is printed indicating that it is the active
       script.

       -p <port> Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "sieve" as defined in /etc/services.

       -i <file> Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten.  Upon  sucessfully
       putting	the  script on the server the script is set active. If <file> has the extension .script it is chopped when put on the server since
       sieve names may not contain a '.'.

       -a <name> Set <name> as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the '-l' option..

       -d <name> Delete the sieve script on the server with <name>.

       -m <mechanism> Force installsieve to use <mechanism> for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism is chosen.

       -g <name> Get the sieve script with <name> and save it to disk with a ".script" extension. If a file with that name already  exists  it	is
       overwritten.

       -u <user> Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user.
