Location of a character in a string

Version: IDS 10

I looked at all string manipulation function that IDS provides but
couldn't find:

1. Something that gives me the location of a character in a string.
2. Or, something that works like sed in terms of replacing characters
using regular expression.

If such functions are not available then I'll write my own.
