You should be able to use the offset(), wordOffset(), or itemOffset()
functions. To find the position of the character following the word
"sequence," you'll need to do something like offset("sequence",tVar)
+ 8. Then you'll need to determine the length of the text string, if
it varies from one line to the next.
Is that what you were looking for?
