========== def getAllIndex(aString=None, aSub=None): t=dict() c=0 ndx=0 while True: try: ndx=aString.index(aSub, ndx) t[c]=ndx ndx += 1 c += 1 except ValueError: break return t =========== This will return a dictionary of what was found; i.e., >>> getAllIndex('abcd 1234 efgh 1234 ijkl', '1234') {0: 5, 1: 15} -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
