      System.out.print("Found Index :" );
      System.out.println(Str.indexOf( 'o' ));
      System.out.print("Found Index :" );
      System.out.println(Str.indexOf( 'o', 5 ));
      System.out.print("Found Index :" );
      System.out.println( Str.indexOf( SubStr1 ));
      System.out.print("Found Index :" );
      System.out.println( Str.indexOf( SubStr1, 15 ));
      System.out.print("Found Index :" );
      System.out.println(Str.indexOf( SubStr2 ));
