I have a script

```auto
server = "Ignition OPC UA Server"
machina = "D24"
indexer = range(32)

pathArray = []
for i in indexer:
	path = "ns=1;s=[%s]Global.UnitData.Plug.Plug[%s].Station" %(machina,i)
	pathArray.append(path)

qualifiedValue = system.opc.readValues(server, pathArray)
print qualifiedValue

```

That returns a list like so…

```auto
array(com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.model.values.QualifiedValue,

])

```

or

```auto
for items in qualifiedValue:
	items.getValue()

```

```auto
1
2
0
3
4
0
5
6
0
7
8
9
10
0
11
12
0
13
0
14
15
16
0
0
0

0

```

how can I search this array for a value? Say 10. And return its index? or its OPC path?

You can get the index like this:

```auto
# get a list of the actual values out of the QualifiedValue list
values = [qv.value for qv in qvs]

# find the index of the value 2 in values list
index = values.index(2)

# do something with that index
...

```
