Finding orphaned "put"

[Peter Haworth]

William,
Just tried out the regexp I gave you and found it needs a couple of changes
to deal with case insensitivity, looking for "before" and also dealing with
the LC script continuation char "\" which could occur at the end of a line
before the into/after/before.

The new version of the regexp is:

(?im)^\s*put\s((?!(into|after|before|\\)).)*$

It works very nicely since doing it this way lists the object and line
number of the offending script line so it's easy to go directly to them and
delete them. I discoverved a couple of orphaned puts lurking in some old
code I had!  I think I will put this check into my release procedures.
