If you look at the documentation for Position, the See Also section
includes StringPosition. Since you are working with strings, you might want
to try that.

Alternatively, the section on String Operations (guide/StringOperations)
lists the operations used on strings.

data4={{"050318","111529"}};

Do[ID2=data4[[i,2]];
s=Import["http://www.swift.ac.uk/xrt_curves/00";<>ID2,"Text"];
s=StringSplit[s,"\n"];
line=StringPosition[s,"Flux Light Curve"],{i,1,Length[data4]}]
