randpos()

randpos()

randpos(<match>, <string>)

Returns the position, counting from 1, of every place <match> starts in <string>, in a random order. It finds the same positions as totpos(): matches may overlap, and case matters. It returns nothing when there is none.

randpos() comes from RhostMUSH.
