If this is a one time thing, you could use Filter Through Command…  
(⌥⌘R) and run the file through `egrep -v [pattern]`. If you're  
tying to match this on a more permanent basis (in a Language Grammar  
or something) then I'm not sure off the top of my head, but I'll bet  
the answer is on its way from someone else.
