[Jprogramming] locating indices of string in list of strings

[Henry Rich]

One problem is, the string 'ab' does not exist in arr.  When you opened 
arr you padded the strings to a common length.

'ab ' would be in arr, but you have the arguments to i. reversed.  x is 
the search space, y is the value you are looking for.
