Thanks for your reply. My requirement is slightly different. Search for different set of string and replace with respective value with accurate field position. For example i want to search specific set of strings from 25 to 35 and repalce with corresponding values. If replacing value has 10 character then remaining 5 character should be filled with space so that the next value starting from 36 is not shifted to left column.
Code:
find from 25 to 35 -- replace with
2FMDK38C39B--AAAAAAAAAAA
1FMEU64 --BBBB
5LMFU275 --CCCCC
1ZVHT82H28 --DD

mb_strpos
MB_STRPOS(3) 1 MB_STRPOS(3)mb_strpos - Find position of first occurrence of string in a stringSYNOPSIS
int mb_strpos (string $haystack, string $needle, [int $offset], [string $encoding = mb_internal_encoding()])
DESCRIPTION
Finds position of the first occurrence of a string in a string.
Performs a multi-byte safe strpos(3) operation based on number of characters. The first character's position is 0, the second character
position is 1, and so on.
PARAMETERS
o $haystack
- The string being checked.
o $needle
- The string to find in $haystack. In contrast with strpos(3), numeric values are not applied as the ordinal value of a character.
o $offset
- The search offset. If it is not specified, 0 is used.
o $encoding
-The $encoding parameter is the character encoding. If it is omitted, the internal character encoding value will be used.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the numeric position of the first occurrence of $needle in the $haystack string. If $needle is not found, it returns FALSE.
SEE ALSO mb_internal_encoding(3), strpos(3).
