def findSectionOffsets(text):
    startingPos = 0
    endPos = len(text)

    for position in te         


        

Answer 1

if you want index of all occurance of | character in a string you can do this

In [30]: import re

In [31]: str = "aaaaaa|bbbbbb|ccccc|ffffdd"

In [32]: [x.start() for x in re.finditer('\|', str)]
Out[32]: [6, 13, 19]

also you can do

In [33]: [x for x, v in enumerate(str) if v == '|']
Out[33]: [6, 13, 19]
