[ale] Perl Problem

[Richard Bronosky]

I don't know how you could have even gotten perl to do what you want
with a "remove[d]" pattern. Here is a working gawk code sample that
filters you posting in the archive:

curl -s http://mail.ale.org/pipermail/ale/2010-May/119429.html | gawk
'/^[[:space:]]*\/\/[[:space:]]*remove/{r=1}; r<1{print};
/^[[:space:]]*\/\/[[:space:]]*removed/{r=0};'
