Hi All,

I'm wondering the easiest way to strip certain lines out of a file.
The file format would be something like:

/XXX/ CE 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
           00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

/XXX/ CB 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
         00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
         00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
         00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

/XXX/ CE 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
         00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Etc.

What I want to do is get any line starting with /XXX/ CE and remove
that line and the following one. I could just write a script for this
but I though one of you guys could come up with something a little
more elegant.

Cheers & Thanks,
Peter.
