record.processed_seq and record.reverse_seq are strings of length around 10,000 to 20,000 and primer_record.primer_processed_seq is also string of length around 10 to 20 This function will extract all the substrings 'primer_record.primer_processed_seq' present in record.processed_seq and record.reverse_seq
