highlighting and saving multiple words in a single string using python

Question

I'm pretty new to programming and I've been having a problem: I have a txt file with a long (30,000+ chars) single string made of 4 letters (a DNA sequence) and I need to search that file for certain repeats (for example 'TTAGGG' ), highlight them and save as a simple readable file. obviously I can't save it as a txt file because there is no highlight option.

I tried html as well as docx but every search I try removes the previous highlights.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
