dna.awk:
Code:
{
        LINE++;
        for(N=0; N<(length($0)-length(STR)); N++)
        if(STR == substr($0, N, length(STR)))
                printf("Line %d, position %d\n", LINE, N);

Code:
$ awk -f dna.awk -v STR="GAT" dnafile
Line 1, position 10
Line 3, position 10
Line 3, position 46

Slight modification to dna.awk:
Code:
{
        LINE++;
        for(N=0; N<(length($0)-length(STR)); N++)
        if(STR == substr($0, N, length(STR)))
                printf("Line %d, %d-%d\n", LINE, N, N+length(STR));
}
