SequencePosition

SequencePosition[list,sublist]

gives a list of the starting and ending positions at which sublist appears in list.

SequencePosition[list,patt]

gives all positions at which sequences matching patt occur in list.

SequencePosition[list,patt,n]

includes only the first n occurrences of patt.
