    _complete = []

    if s_len < r_len:
        n = -1
    else:

        for i in xrange(s_len):
            # search for r in s until not enough characters are left
            if s[i:i + r_len] == r:
                _complete.append(i)
            else:
                i = i + 1
    print(_complete)
