That's what the force option is for :)

So add |grep -v ^;

There's nothing really complex about it. You find all the lines with unpublished, then you cut off the first couple of fields that may have a 300 in the network or node number, then you remove anything with ,300, in it, and then anything with 300 at the end of the line, and then if you add grep -v ^; it'll remove anything with a semi colon at the start of the line.

I'm sure some genius will come up with an awk version but it won't be easier to understand, or you could write a perl script to do it, I'm sure.
