#3073 — Re: Seaching in Pi a sequence. Looking for a faster method

This works well for me ... it's about 3x faster than piesimo on my machine
and I can search for any sequence.
The final argument c is the number of matches that you are interested in
seeing.

piStringSearch[n_, s_, c_] :=
 Module[{a}, a = ToString[N[Pi, n]];
  StringPosition[a, ToString[s], c] /. {start_, end_} :> start - 2]

piStringSearch[10^7, 9999999, 100]

{1722776, 3389380, 4313727, 5466169}
