positioning words in a line

I have problem with this for last few days and I would really be grateful if you can help me SmilieSmilieSmilieSmilieSmilie

I have sets of files in one directory, and each of them have few lines
each one of these lines has 1 or more occurrence of words
Y = [Dean James John Mark Bob]
I need to find the position of the Y in each line and put them into a file with number of the words in the whole line and name them $Y-$name
e.g. one file from directory --> file01.txt
this is the house for James and
Mark and Dean would like to
James want to test
Results
1) Jame-file01.txt
67
14
2) Mark-file01.txt
16
3) Dean-file01.txt
36

I have tried to do bits as well which is not helpful either
I have tried to put each line in a file and then break based on space and then get the line number as position using AWK (not very useful way of dealing as I end up with millions of files) and then I have tried following lines which is not working correctly either as they dont detect the names
Code:
FILES="F1/*"
for X in $FILES
do
	name=$(basename $X) 
	for Y in Dean James John Mark Bob
	do
		grep –o "$Y" | awk  {print $1,  NR }'  $X > position/$Y-${name}
	done
done

can you please help me in this?

FBB::mlm(3bobcat)					      OFoldStream manipulator						 FBB::mlm(3bobcat)

NAME
FBB::mlm - Manipulator modifying left margins of OFoldStream objects SYNOPSIS
#include <bobcat/ofoldstream> or #include <bobcat/ofoldstreambuf> Linking option: -lbobcat DESCRIPTION
The mlm class implements a manipulator that can be inserted into OFoldStream objects to modify the stream's left margin by a requested amount. The request cannot result in a negative left margin value. If a negative left margin would be the arithmetic result of the request then left margin 0 will silently be used. Depending on the tab-setting of the OFoldStream the inserted value represents the number of blank space characters or the number of tab-characters that will be added to the left margin. The request will be processed at the next newline character or std::flush or std::endl manipulator that is inserted into the stream. If a line is still empty once an mlm object and a flush manipulator are inserted into the stream then the new left margin will be effective at the next word inserted into that line (cf., the example section below) A bad_cast exception is thrown when the manipulator is inserted into an ostream that is not using a OFoldStreambuf buffer. NAMESPACE
FBB All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in this man-page, are defined in the namespace FBB. INHERITS FROM
- CONSTRUCTOR
o mlm(int addValue): The standard copy constructor is available. MEMBER FUNCTIONS
There are no public or protected member functions in this class. EXAMPLE
#include <iostream> #include <bobcat/ofoldstream> using namespace std; using namespace FBB; int main() { OFoldStream out(cout, 0, 80); out << "hello world (left margin is 0)" << mlm(4) << " " "this uses a 4 character wide left margin " << mlm(-10) << flush << "left margin -6 changed to 0, active on this line "; return 0; } FILES
