Grep: find text between quotations when the number of words are more than 20?

[camilo_umana]

(?<=“).*?(?=“)

is a grep expression to find text inside quotation marks.

but how to delimit the search to define exactly a number of words inside the curly quotes?

for example, detect only quotations that have more than n words? 50, for example?

this comes as it is a publishing practice to style those «block quotations»  and get broken off without quotation marks.

thanks

The issue here is that you'll have to account for any types of spaces and punctuations that may occur, while limiting the number of WORDS to 50. In theory, it's probably doable...it's just above my "pay grade," as they say.
