in reply to Matching Stuff with Regex

If you only want to get data with the specific columns empty, why not just build your SQL query to only pull back the results you want? I would think that would be more efficient than pulling all of the values from the DB, and THEN filtering.

Let the DB do the work it was built for. :)

    That's a good point but I'm taking the results found by the SQL statement and reordering them in a weird way. Thats why I'm looking for them. So I'm not deleting them just moving them.
    Good suggestion though
