Find a file that contains a string

Hi Guys,

How do I find a file that contains a string using the position number?

For example:

I have files in a directory X

Code:
cd X

ls -ltrh 

-rw-r--r--   1 username   group         3.5M Jun 27 21:09 file_1
-rw-r--r--   1 username   group         3.5M Jun 28 21:09 file_2
-rw-r--r--   1 username   group         3.5M Jun 29 21:09 file_3
...

Now I want to search for a file that contains the string test starting from position 184 in the file.

Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance...
