I n a generalized way how to match the words like this?

With regards
Vanitha
to retrieve the sentence you want which matches a certain pattern you do like so:
Code:
if ($word =~ /(.*?RNA[-\s]binding protein.*?)$/) { 
      print "$1\n"; 
}

If you have multiple patterns you either put them all on a list and check one by one or create an expression that allows spaces or '-' between words (but that could be faulty and you would lose track of things)
