finding position of a string in a variable
Hi,
I have to find a text in a variable and need to get the position of it. say,
a="This is Example Example1 xxx yyy Example"
if i search for "Example" then i should get the location of the starting location "Example".
and in next iteration it should give the location of next "Example"
is there any easy way to do this?
Thanks in advance,
-Raja

Hi Folks,
I have a file with all fields defined by byte position, but any field can be empty so I cannot print lines based on a search of specific columns. I need to print all lines of this file where the string of two characters at byte position 100-101 contains the number 27. Any ideas?
