Hi Oscar,
I tried as you said and I've developed the code as you will see.
But, when I have a such situation in an html file, in wich there is a repetition of a string (XX in this case):
CODE Target: 	        0201
CODE Read: 	        XXXX
CODE CHECK 	: NOT PASSED
TEXT Target:              13
TEXT Read: 	          XX
TEXT CHECK 	: NOT PASSED
CHAR Target: 	          AA
CHAR Read: 	          XX
CHAR CHECK 	: NOT PASSED 

With this code (created starting from yours)

index = nomefile.find('XXXX')
print 'XXXX_ found at location', index

index2 = nomefile.find('XX')
print 'XX_ found at location', index2

found = nomefile.find('XX')
while found > -1:
    print "XX found at location", found
    found = nomefile.find('XX', found+1)

I have an answer like this:

XXXX_ found at location 51315
XX_ found at location 51315
XX found at location 51315
XX found at location 51316
XX found at location 51317
XX found at location 52321
XX found at location 53328

I have done it to find all occurences of 'XXXX' and 'XX' strings. But, as you can see, the script find the occurrences of XX also at locations 51315, 51316 , 51317 corresponding to string XXXX.

Is there a way to search all occurences of XX avoiding XXXX location?

Thank you.
Michele
