I tried using StrComp but that will only do full text searches and not subStr searches (i.e. if I search for "Love" I get "Love by The Sundays" but not
"Love in an Elevator by Aerosmith" Ideally, I want both which is what a RegEx will do). Thanks for your help!!!

InStr(start_pos, str1, str2, compare_method) is probably more what you're looking for
than StrCmp (hope I recall the arguments correctly). Not real regexps
(does any one know of a package that implements regexps in VB?), but
it'll let you know if a string exists somewhere (and where) in another string.

However, you might consider linking the CSV file into a database and then
letting your ASP pages talk to the database, making the DB do the searches etc.
The LIKE function will give you regexp like string matching in for instance Access...
