I just noticed that everyone provided sample usage (just as I asked  
them too), but me!  Egad.  Here's Elif at work:

$ cat sample_data.txt
This is line one.
This is line two.
This is line three.
...
$ ruby -r elif -e 'puts Elif.readlines(ARGV.first)' sample_data.txt
...
This is line three.
This is line two.
This is line one.
$ ruby -r elif -e 'Elif.foreach(ARGV.first) { |line| puts line if  
line =~ /t[a-z]+.$/ }' sample_data.txt
This is line three.
This is line two.
