i made a text file containg this line:

We are bigger.

He is faster.

She is quicker.

I am better.


and this command line:
cat test.txt | perl -ne 'print if 
/(\b(best|most|more|((best|bett|bigg|larg|fast|quick)(er|est)))\b[.|\n]*)/'

gave me this:

We are bigger.
He is faster.
She is quicker.
I am better.

so it seems working, or isnt it kinda proove ?

regrads,
Matthias
