Oh, right, that is important... hmm. Then I'd phrase it as something like "New position variable value", maybe?

Although I'm not sure readers are really going to manually count. It might be good to add a parenthetical value, e.g. 2 (end of string), 7 ( )? Or maybe a `<mark>` around the pointed-to-character? Meh, nothing works great there...
