Prem, I see no point in implementing such this way (at least personally I don't) for removing keys: executing a RegEx compilation is a stressing operation and requires memory and CPU to execute it. The benefits you get by non-hitting the database (that means not making the SQL statement to be compiled and executed or, in case it's cached, just executed) you will loose by compiling the RegEx and execute it.

Hi All, Is there a way to delete values based on a key specified as a regular expression. Example, I store some data in three formats and these keys are created as key-1-xyz, key-2-xyz, key-3-xyz. here xyz may take any value and is unique for all the three formats Now, when there is any change in actual data, all the three formats have to be deleted and at this point I have no idea about "xyz". Is there a provision to delete objects by specifying a an expression like : "key-%", so that every object whose hash key name starts with "key-" will be deleted ? Hope I am clear. Please get back to me for details.
