Could you post a sample data and elaborate further?

You did not check the case when it starts with an empty space for instance.
Yes, that was an example.
It's quite easy to modify the regular expression to match such a pattern.
Quote:
Acctually the empty space is not a problem as long as a '*' follows, so let me state my problem elseway:
As long as the number occurances of the string MOVIE and '*' is the same, everything is right. So grepping the lines containing MOVIE is just the first step, in addition I hav to check whether ALL that lines have '*'
As always, sample data and expected behavior (based on the sample data) will be useful.

ppi::token::quote
PPI::Token::Quote(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation PPI::Token::Quote(3)
NAME
PPI::Token::Quote - String quote abstract base class
INHERITANCE
PPI::Token::Quote
isa PPI::Token
isa PPI::Element
DESCRIPTION
The "PPI::Token::Quote" class is never instantiated, and simply provides a common abstract base class for the four quote classes. In PPI,
a "quote" is limited to only the quote-like things that themselves directly represent a string. (although this includes double quotes with
interpolated elements inside them).
The subclasses of "PPI::Token::Quote" are:
'' - PPI::Token::Quote::Single
"q{}" - PPI::Token::Quote::Literal
"" - PPI::Token::Quote::Double
"qq{}" - PPI::Token::Quote::Interpolate
The names are hopefully obvious enough not to have to explain what each class is here. See their respective pages for more details.
Please note that although the here-doc does represent a literal string, it is such a nasty piece of work that in PPI it is given the honor
of its own token class (PPI::Token::HereDoc).
METHODS
string
The "string" method is provided by all four ::Quote classes. It won't get you the actual literal Perl value, but it will strip off the
wrapping of the quotes.
# The following all return foo from the ->string method
'foo'
"foo"
q{foo}
qq <foo>
literal
The "literal" method is provided by ::Quote:Literal and ::Quote::Single. This returns the value of the string as Perl sees it: without the
quote marks and with "\" and "'" resolved to "" and "'".
The "literal" method is not implemented by ::Quote::Double or ::Quote::Interpolate yet.
SUPPORT
See the support section in the main module.
