As is often the case in Python, string methods suffice. Particularly for something so simple, regexes aren't necessary. > Here is a string : > > str1="ha,hihi,aaaaa,ok" > > I want to get the position of "," in the str1,Which can count 3,8,14. Note that Python's indices start at 0. Your example output uses 1-based indices. > how can I get it in python ? def find_all(string, substr): start = 0 while True: try: pos = string.index(substr, start) except ValueError: break else: yield pos start = pos + 1 str1 = "ha,hihi,aaaaa,ok" print list(find_all(str1, ",")) #===> [2, 7, 13] In the future, I recommend reading the documentation for Python's string type: http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#string-methods What opinion are you contrary ("contro") to anyway?
