@ctsgnb:
Thanks for the codes but as
sgruenwald mentioned I'm working with a DNA sequence so all lines are part of the same string. I want positions not by where it matched in each line but over the entire length of the string composed of A,T, G and C letters, obviously excluding the header line.
Cheers and thanks for the input, but I think
Bartus11 has already provided a solution.
I'll be back with more questions.
Hv a nice day all

For example:
