Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of O'Reilly's /sed & awk/.  $13
plus shipping for a used one at Amazon.  They're little languages
designed for precisely what you're trying to do.  In the meanwhile,
the beginning of line anchor is ^ and the end-of-line anchor is $, so
start out with something like:
    $ awk '/{$/{print}' filename
and work from there.
