Hello,
This (perl -n -we 'print if /[\[\].]{2}/;' file) almost did the trick, but
it was also picking up lines with many .......... or many ........ flanked
in between something. So I ammended it to (as there is always a space
between the characters I am trying to pull out):
perl -n -we 'print if /\s[\[\].]{2}\s/;' file | more
cheers a lot, aim
