st: Does -strpos()- return the second occurrence of a string?

Dear users
I'm looking for a way to identify the position of a string, which is
not the first.
For example, when we use-strpos () - to find the underscore "_" in the word:
ab_cd_ef
The function strpos () will return 3. But I wanted to return the
position of the second occurrence, 6.
Does anyone know a way to deal with this problem?
Best regards,
Peter
