in thread Checking the include form and getting only the header name

I noticed the below condition fails for the below input.Basically anything inside " " and <> should match except a space,how can we change the below match for this? 


INPUT:-
#include <io-pkt/iopkt_driver.h> --> should match
#include "string.h " -->should not match
#include "devnp-msm-ipc.h" -->should match


    if ($line =~ /#include [<"](\w+\.h)[>"]/)

    That's basically what we had in the beginning, except that you probably want \S+ (non-whitespace), or maybe \S.* (if there could be spaces within the file name), in place of \w+: 

        if ($line =~ /#include [<"](\S+\.h)[>"]/)

    P.S. "string.h " shouldn't match anyway, because (\w+\.h)[>"] doesn't allow a space between .h and ".
