A Piece of Pi challenge

I'm pretty sure I'm doing this one correctly and I got the position it's on but it's not accepting it. I've tried all the numbers around the number I thought it was too (in case I was off by one or so). Am I reading the challenge wrong or do you think my text file of pi is wrong?

there are no dots in the number (e.g. 123.32123'th number).
too big hint?

Okay, I got as long Pi as I could, but couldn't find the "12345678" even once in the whole pi.
Is that a trick question or...

Funnily enough I've got Pi lying around on a shell to 100,000,000 places in text form (somewhat overkill) here, you shouldn't try to open it in your browser as its 100MB (95+MiB) but you can "Save As" the link.

Got the same problem as masti.I found a lot of sides which offered pi to the digit x.trillionbut i could not find the string.1234 is no prob and 12345.Can anyone who did the quest offer me his list.I don't know which one to use ^^° @ wolframalpha.com there is only a image of the digits and i believe the pi-string is too short.

Bumping this topic as I'm visiting this site once again for a long time.
I'm using Python to count the Pi to as far as my processor can take it, but still no luck.
Even if I could find the string in the Pi I don't know how to determine the spot it's at in the Pi.
If anyone could send me a PM with an example code of finding a specified string within a string and return the index of the specified string as a decimal.
That would help a lot!
Thanks in advance!

Isn't that half the challenge, to figure these things out?

If you cant's find the answer, please try to get 200,000,000 of pi... 100,000,000 is truly not enough
