Hi,
I assume that a funcitonal programming approach will be faster for long strings
p = StringJoin[ToString /@ Flatten[s2[[#]] & /@ Position[s1, 1]]].
And if you will already define s2 as a list of characters it will be
even simpler since you will have to implement ToString only once,
i.e.,
s3 = ToString /@ s2
p3== StringJoin[Flatten[s3[[#]] & /@ Position[s1, 1]]]
