Find a string and its position in a line from another string

Hello guys, would you please help me with this?


this is the line inside a file:


Code:
first line Something Today YYDDPPSVXIPYYY0XXXOFFS00000000000?


I'd like to find the position of string XXX from string PYYY

In the example above

XXX starts from 6th position from PYYY

desired result = 6


Another file, another line

Code:
TODAY YYDDPPSVXIPYYY000XXXOFFS00000


desired result = 8

==

Which command to use to find out the position of XXX from PYYY?


Thanks a lot,
Marian
