Looking through these string commands, none seem to list all lines containing the string. They will find first, last, count, position, etc., but do not output showing all lines containing the string. For instance, if I had the following text file:
and I search for the string "words" the result should be:
Line of text containing words
This is the second line of text
This line also contains words
This is the fourth line of textand I search for the string "words" the result should be:
Line of text containing words
This line also contains wordsASKER CERTIFIED SOLUTION

There are many functions to find the occurrence of a string.. strstr,strchr,etc... the way for doing it would differ based on the exact requirement
