Array Indexes

i would like some help on how to retrieve array indexes. i have the following scenario:

List <string> alphabet = new ....;

alphabet.add("a");
alphabet.add("b");
alphabet.add("a");
alphabet.add("c");
alphabet.add("a");

i have populated a new arraylist which only identifies distinct/unique alphabet items in the firt array e.g. it is able to list contents a, b and c only.

my challenge is how do i identify occurence index for the unique array list so that it displays and shows that
item "a" exists on index 0,2,4
item "b" exists on index 1
item "c" exists on index 3

thank you..

  1. public int[] indexesOf(List list, String string) {
  2.   List<int> result = new List<int>();
  3.   for (int i = 0; i < list.Count; i++) { 
  4.    if (list[i] == string) {
  5.         result.Add(i);
  6.    }
  7.   }
  8.   return result.ToArray();
  9. }
