Can't figure out how to find specific characters in specific columns
I am trying to find a specific set of characters in a long file. I only want to find the characters in column 265 for 4 bytes.

Is there a search for that? I tried cut but couldn't get it to work.

Ex. I want to find '9999' in column 265 for 4 bytes. If it is in there, I want it to print out the whole line.

Thanks for any advice.
