That would be "char", I presume, not "c". > indexList1.append(i) > > for char in list2: > j = substring2.index(char) > indexList2.append(j) > > (substring1 and substring2 are 2 different strings) > > Then i'm iterating over indexList1 and indexList2, so i fail to understand > why i am getting the typeError.... > > >> On 13/06/2006 5:08 PM, John Machin wrote: >>> On 13/06/2006 4:11 PM, Girish Sahani wrote: [SNIPPED] Girish, Could we please abide by the Geneva Convention: 1.

Please reply to the newsgroup/mailing-list -- I've taken the liberty of dragging this back there as there appears to be no private content ... OK, so you've found that index1 and index2 each contain 'c'. Despite your belief that they should contain the results of some_string.index(some_char), the only reasonable hypothesis is that somebody is polluting the water further upstream. Who is that somebody? The usual and only suspect is *you*. Please go away and sprinkle print statements at likely spots further upstream until you have found the problem.
