Joseph Martin's program contains:
>     n =3D find("1", file[i])

file[i] is a string of characters.
To locate a string within another string use match():
      n =3D match("1", file[i])
You could also try to match a longer string:
      n =3D match("Joseph", file[i])

Or, to locate a single character within a string use find():
      n =3D find('1', file[i])

Note the difference between '1' and "1".
'1' is an atom. "1" is a length-1 sequence. They are not the same.
Your find() always fails because no element of sequence file[i]
is a length-1 sequence "1". The elements of file[i] are all =

single-character atoms.
