in thread can any reply out with a better code than this??

Sorry, asdfghjkl, I confused you by changing the string. Try running it with ri\d+ri\d+ri\d+ for a match. That was meant to emphasize the use of \Q...\E.

      Do you mean something like this? 
      use strict;

my $string = 'ri\d+';

while (my $line = <>) {
    if ($line =~ m{ ( ( \Q$string\E ){3} ) }xms) {
        print $line;
        printf qq{\tMatched "$2" x 3: "$1"\n};
    }
}

      Why don't you post a little more of your code "calling some files"?
