 import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

public class RnD {

        public static void main(String[] args) {
                Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("SAXELBY");
                BufferedReader reader = null;
                try {
                        int lineNumber=0;
                        reader =
                                new BufferedReader(
                                        new FileReader("C:\\00000001.txt"));
                        while (true) {
                                lineNumber++;
                                String curline = reader.readLine();
                                if (curline == null) {
                                        break;
                                }
                                Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(curline);
                                while (matcher.find()) {
                                        System.out.println("at "+lineNumber+" "+
                                                matcher.group()
                                                        + " start="
                                                        + matcher.start()
                                                        + " end= "
                                                        + matcher.end());
                                }
                        }

                } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                } finally {
                        if (reader != null) {
                                try {
                                        reader.close();
                                } catch (IOException e1) {
                                                        e1.printStackTrace();
                                }
