There are files that seem to contain a lot of lines seemingly used to display information suitable for many locales.  One example is ~/.local/share/applications/gconf-editor.desktop.  These would be a lot easier to explore if I could look at them and not see the lines for locales other than my language. 
<br><br>My thought was to do a cat foofile | grep regexpl where regexpl would pass all lines having no [*] term unless it were [en*].&nbsp; Unfortunately, I have forgotten much of what I once knew about regular expressions.&nbsp; I know I want to relearn, but not today.&nbsp; A little help please?
