It should be reasonably simple to do this with a regular expression or
two. An input file would help in order to be able to establish the
level of complexity required, I can't show an example without knowing
how much data I have to /not/ match, and how much whitespace is
involved.

It's too bad you misses Clinton's most excellent ANTLR talk the other
night. This is exactly the sort of nut that would be fun to crack
using ANTLR.

Is this HTML? There are  HTML parsers that would be able to help here.
