Caveats:
1) Run this on one objects at a time
2) make sure you set the $maxVerts to be greater than the number of verts in your object. (the higher this number, the longer the script takes)
$axis is obviously the axis you are scanning and $findVerts is the value you are looking for. Not a perfect script, but whaddaya want for nothin'?
string $axis = "x";
float $findVerts = 0;
int $maxVerts = 441;
string $obj[] = `ls -dag -sl`;
int $countA = 0;
int $countB = 0;
float $getIt;
string $toBeSelected[];
while ($countA != $maxVerts)
{
$getIt = `getAttr ($obj[1]+".pnts["+$countA+"].pnt"+$axis)`;
$getIt = (trunc($getIt*1000) / 1000);
if ($getIt == $findVerts)
{
$toBeSelected[$countB] = ($obj[0]+".vt"+$axis+"["+$countA+"]");
$countB += 1;
}
$countA += 1;
}
while ($countB > 0)
{
$countB -= 1;
select -add $toBeSelected[$countB];
}
select -d $obj[0];

I am no programmer, but I think your script is selecting the vertices based on thieir local coords, but I think he wanted to select the vertices with a World coord of X = 0 ..
