Here is what I tried using Reap and Sow, although it does not use any
pattern matching
Reap[Table[If[list1[[r]]-list1[[r+1]]===-1,Sow[r]],{r,1,Length[list1],1}]][[2]]//Flatten
In[1]:=
list1= {0,0,1,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,0}
Reap[Table[If[list1[[r]]-list1[[r+1]]===-1,Sow[r]],{r,1,Length[list1],1}]][[2]]//Flatten
Out[1]=
{0,0,1,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,0}
Out[2]=
{2,7}
Hope this helps
