[net.suicide] program wanted

keithe (03/10/83)

Would somebody out there please write up a shell- or C-program
with the following function:

	1.	Search through the files in the .../net.suicide 
		directory for articles containing the character 
		string
			"From:[...]!bimmler"  , where [...]
			 	is a string of any characters

	2.	remove any such file(s) from the directory.

Please post it to either net.sources or net.suicide. It will save
us all a lot of wasted time.

# get rid of news from people you don't want to hear from

rm -f `grep -l "^From:.*bimmler" net.suicide/*`

# By the way, it seems to me that if we all just ignore items from people
# whose stuff we don't like, they'll get discouraged and go away.
