Attention script wizards:  I have a utterly simple request.

I need a script to do the following:
- Command line input
-- Regular expression to find
-- Filenames to process
- Delete line in file that contains matching regular expression

That's it.

I have yet to take the time to learn sed, awk or other such tools and I 
just want a script now.  (Instant gratification thing.)
