Yes The Substitution is Incorrect as I have Limit the Length to 47. So if the length is around say 100, it does not substitute it properly.

My Requirement is Just to find out the starting position of _123456789_123456789 and Starting Position of Mediabox 'M' for every such type of strings in a File.
There can be N Number of such strings in the entire File. 'Mediabox' will always be after _123456789_123456789.

Example of my string in Text File

'KUMRA1521521_123456789_123456789_Ym30251_7jgu92l02klk414_5268YYU**1HnY_/Mediabox OPLOHT&@JWFK_IWKWM' && I need 13 for _123456789_123456789_ and 73 for 'M' (Mediabox).

Ultimately I am looking to Replace '_123456789_123456789_Ym30251_7jgu92l02klk414_5268YYU**1HnY_/Mediabox' with my desired string.
