Agreed I noticed using negated find would return what I expected, but it's not logical, and its another one of those things that I learned in school, never use negated logic unless absolutely necessary
Basically that is all that the function I suggested does, is negate the lambda function, this way you can still program in true based logic. It just makes since to "EXCLUDE WHERE A == B RETURN RESULTS" however it is "EXCLUDE IN PLACE WHERE A == B RETURN EXCLUDED RECORDS" At the time, I had no reason to use it, so did not have any input. -Thadeus On Sun, Nov 29, 2009 at 2:09 PM, mdipierro <[email protected]> wrote: > That is how the patch was designed by Mr.Freeze.
