I won't add to the large number of perfectly acceptable replies you have
already...

I just want to make an observation.

I used to use "Pos" like functions in other languages often.

I can't remember when last I ever used it in Ruby.

There has always been better ways, usually much better ways, of doing
something in Ruby than finding the position of a string in a string.

Curious that.
