Hello All, I have a document and in the document(of around 10kb) from a place(suppose between 1016th character and 1040 character ) I want to grab the characters from 1 to 1015 and 1041 to the end of the document and make left str and the right str respectively. And then make those strings as regexp pattern ie., convert the spaces to \s* etc. Can u plz tell me that if I want to grab word by word from the document. Example 
Suppose in the beginning we have
$pattern="(\s*TOTAL\s*FUND\s*OPERATING\s*)(\S.{0,21}?\S)(\s*\s*EXPENSE
+S\s*F\s*)"

And after the pattern is occuring so many times in the document in which I had to search then I had to increase the size of the search .After increasing the size of the pattern it becomes 
$pattern="(ther\s*Expenses\s*0\s*2600\s*\s*TOTAL\s*FUND\s*OPERATING\s*
+)(\S.{0,21}?\S)(\s*\s*EXPENSES\s*Fund\s*as\s*a\s*shareholder\s*in\s*u
+nderlying\s*fund\s*indirectly\s*bears\s*pro\s*rata\s*)"

My problem is to make the pattern and pick word by word from the left of the pattern and word from the right of the pattern.These things will be applied to only the target document. Can u plz help me in this context.
