help with sed

I have data coming in on a serial port, I need to remove the first part of each line.

the lines look like this...

~081 Continuity Error; SAR: 6418 Line: 119 Station: 566
~090 Time Start of Retrieval AUG 04 2003 12:24::48.83
~034 Time Break: .60msec
~031 Number of Vibs: 2 Vibs Stacked: Yes

lets say they range from ~000 to ~999

I can remove them independantly with this...

sed -e 's/^~081//'

what syntax can be used to remove any code ~??? at the beginning of the line

thanks,

How about:

Code:

sed 's/^~...//'

If the numbers are important:

Code:

sed 's/^~[0-9][0-9][0-9]//'
