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]}]
s has been split into lines. You are testing each line searately. Most
lines do not contain the target string and therefore produce {}. The lines
with the target string are
tgtLines=Position[line, {__},1]//Flatten
{230,294,295}
These lines are
s[[tgtLines]]//Column
<h2>Flux Light Curve</h2>
<li><a href="/xrt_curves/00111529/flux.ps">Flux Light Curve
(postscript)</a></li>
<li><a href="/xrt_curves/00111529/flux.qdp">Flux Light Curve (ascii
data)</a></li>
The target strings' character positions on these lines are
pos=Flatten[line[[tgtLines]],1]
{{9,24},{50,65},{51,66}}
Or, alternatively
pos=Flatten[line/.{}->Sequence[],1]
{{9,24},{50,65},{51,66}}
Verifying that the target string was found on those lines and at those
positions
StringTake[s[[#[[1]]]],#[[2]]]&/@Thread[{tgtLines,pos}]
{Flux Light Curve,Flux Light Curve,Flux Light Curve}
