One way:

Code:
awk  '!/^\=+/ && !/^\(/ '  your_file

Something like this?

Code:
grep -v '^[(=]' inputfile > outputfile

To remove the dashes too, use:

Code:
awk '!/^\=+|^\(|^\-+/' your_file

If your OS doesn't recognize awk , try nawk or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk on solaris.

it recognizes awk, but it doesn't recognizes '/^\' this particular pattern
