Function findall and overlapping

[Colin_Beckingham]

When I use the code

findall("DD","DDDAADDD")

I get the response

2-element Vector{UnitRange{Int64}}:
 1:2
 6:7

But perhaps the answer might include the others, such as 2:3 and 7:8? What am I missing here? The function seems to miss overlaps.

@Colin_Beckingham

findall(“DD”,“DDDAADDD”)

you have to explicitly request it

julia> findall("DD","DDDAADDD", overlap=true)
4-element Vector{UnitRange{Int64}}:
 1:2
 2:3
 6:7
 7:8

OK thanks. I thought I read the REPL help for the function and there was no mention of that option that I could see.

I thought I read the REPL help for the function and there was no mention of that option that I could see.

That’s odd, overlap is definitely in the docstring for findall(::String, ...).

But for some reason that isn’t one of the methods for which the docstring is printed in the REPL help?
