Take pity on a poor ex-Vm'er who doesn't have access to VM any more...
I've been trying to solve a problem in another programming language and
decided to write a pipe to clarify my thinking - it worked - I realised what
I needed and didn't need. However, during the thinking stage I
couldn't see how to solve this one...

Given (a) a file and (b) a list of keywords, how do I get a list
of column positions of the keywords in the file? Each keywd may occur
in any line, no order implied, multiple times, multiple keywords on a line
(including up to, and including, none of them).

Rownums are easy, colnums I couldn't see how, but then I'm out
of touch these days... ideas?

Rod
