Anyone? 

ok, list of substrings, presumably held in a real list. And the string presumably held in a variable.

So something like:

set (SubStringCounter) to [0]
Repeat <Length of (ListOfSubStrings)>
change (SubStringCounter) by [1]
repeat until <(counter) = <<Length of (StringHolder)> - [5]>>

if <<letter [1] of <item (SubStringCounter) of [ListOfSubStrings v]>> = <letter [1] of (StringHolder)>>
set (LetterCounter) to [0]
set (MatchCounter) to [0]

Repeat <length of <item (SubStringCounter) of [ListOfSubStrings v]>>
change (LetterCounter) by [1]

if <<letter (LetterCounter) of <item (SubStringCounter) of [ListOfSubStrings v]>> = <letter <(counter) + (LetterCounter)> of (SubStringCounter)>>
change (MatchCounter) by [1]
else
set (MatchCounter) to [0]
end

end
if <(MatchCounter) = <length of <item (SubStringCounter) of [ListOfSubStrings v]>>>
stuff happens
end
end

end

end

Basically, there's no simple way to do it but something like the above would work...you'd need another counter to be able to store positions, though. This is the incredible number of counters method

No problem, tell me if you have any trouble with it - I haven't had a chance to test it out but it should work.
