i have a function which returns a string. for eg: X='101110'. i want to search for 0 and highlight the location.

I'm not sure what you mean by highlight the location. Is it a GUI? Are you colour coding the characters?

i am thinking of defining X as a list.

You shouldn't need to, you can treat the string as a sequence directly

indexes = [i for i, c in enumerate(X) if char == '0']

Will give you the list of indexes you need. How you use that to highlight the zeros will depend on your UI I guess.

HTH,
