Find word index in string in python

Question

I have a list and i want to find index of any words starting with Iran and print them.

import pytz
word = 'iran'
text = str(pytz.all_timezones).lower()
for t in text.split():
    if t.startswith(word):
       print(text[t.index(word)])

the output is 'a' and ',' but i need any word containing iran

Answer 1

Maybe you can use

import pytz
word = 'iran'
text = [x.lower() for x in pytz.all_timezones]
for t in text:
    if t.startswith(word):
        print(text.index(t))

List comprehension and lower() is used to make a list the elements of which are strings.

These elements are checked with startswith() and if its return value is True, its index is printed with index().

Output:

507
