 Ah, good, some is sane.  ;-)
 I only just saw this thread, and as I was reading the many
 overly large suggestions, was wondering when someone would
 suggest the obvious.

 B.t.w., here's one of many sed(1) versions.  AFAIK, this
 works with any version of `sed':

    sed -n -e 'H;/)$/{s/.*//;x;s/\n//gp;}'

cheers!
