- ## usage: findstr (s, t [, overlap])
- ##
- ## Returns the vector of all positions in the longer of the two strings
- ## S and T where an occurence of the shorter of the two starts.
- ##
- ## If the optional argument OVERLAP is nonzero, the returned vector
- ## can include overlapping positions (this is the default).
- ##
- ## For example,
- ##
- ## findstr ("abababa", "aba") => [1, 3, 5]
- ## findstr ("abababa", "aba", 0) => [1, 5]
