filter output with regular expression?

[dominictarr]

An easy low hanging fruit would be to filter the output with a regular expression. when running the /query path you could pass in a url encoded regular expression which could be used to filter particular output. If you designed your data well, this could be used to cheaply filter the out the data you don't need in a view, before it is even sent to the view engine.

Idea: If an output stream emits raw csv lines, and the headers are well known, a through stream could split ecah line line.split(','), enumerate and match. For example...

var criteria = { 
  eventName: 'scroll', 
  x: function(val) { return val > 500; } 
};

readStream()
  .pipe(filter(headers, criteria))
  .on('data', function(d) {
    console.log(d) // => an array of values symmetrical to the headers that satisfies the criteria. 
  })

Also, am currently working on the subset of SQL that will work well: SELECT, WHERE, GROUP BY but not JOIN.
