Default find text similar to yyyy-mm-dd in string

I'd like to find the location of each date within a very long string
(loaded to string from text file). The format of the dates is
yyyy-mm-dd. It would be great if I could use "InStr" and "Like"
together somehow, but I don't know how. Any ideas? Thanks.
