Doesnt the awk command you mentioned count the length per line?
I was wondering if there is a way to count length of a particular string.

eg: say for string2
it would count from

Code:
>String2
qwwerrtyuiopasdfghjmnbvfklzxerbvcwghjjkoowwqerrtggbddqsdfgaqwcxzakjtyugfsdefrtgyhujiknbbbbcdcdcxsxsx zxzxcvcfcdcg
>String3

till the start of string3? ( ie. till '>' of string 3)

I hope I am not confusing.
