Here is an other try, that is looking for any kind of duplicated characters and digits, and gives an out in a dict: txt = 'Missi2ssi2ppi' ind_tbl = {} for char in sorted(set(txt.lower())): buf = [] if txt.count(char) > 1: for ind, i in enumerate(txt): if i == char: buf.append(ind) ind_tbl.update({char : buf}) print(ind_tbl) # output: {'2': [5, 9], 'i': [1, 4, 8, 12], 'p': [10, 11], 's': [2, 3, 6, 7]}

indexes = lambda string, char: [i for i, x in enumerate(string) if x == char] or None print(indexes('mississipi','s'))
