Find all the occurrences of a character in a string

Question

I am trying to find all the occurences of \"|\" in a string.

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

    for position in te         


        

Answer 1

text.find() only returns the first result, and then you need to set the new starting position based on that. So like this:

def findSectionOffsets(text):
    startingPos = 0

    position = text.find("|", startingPos):
    while position > -1:
        print position
        startingPos = position + 1
        position = text.find("|", startingPos)
