I want to get the next word from the pattern.For increasing the size of the pattern I have to get the next word from the left and right both ways. 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*)"

I hope this will help u get a better picture of the problem.
