Subject: Need some grep RE help
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.

My thought was to do a cat foofile | grep regexpl where regexpl would pass
all lines having no [*] term unless it were [en*]. Unfortunately, I have
forgotten much of what I once knew about regular expressions. I know I want
to relearn, but not today. A little help please?
