:0 b works for me as it does for Erik Christiansen.

I will add, though, that if you must use external processing, something
more lightweight than perl would probably be a good idea.
In this case, you might use awk:
...
| awk 'NF=3D=3D0{x=3D1;next}x' >> file

but of course, :0 b is preferable.  I suspect you have some other typo
since you didn't provide context.

Coffee for me too, please.
