Ok, no doubt this is an easy RegEx question, but not for me.

Reorder by length so the longer names come first. Also, I think you only
need replace(works_string, artist, "#artist#", "all")

It does really look like your using Regex's. Since you're looking for
strings essentially, can't you just use ReplaceNoCase?

Is there a delimited in the list of names (work_string), something that you
can include in your reg ex to "anchor" it to an entire entry?
Are the names delimited by something (like commas) or just strung together?

Well, I've got a couple of comments, for what they're worth. First,
you're not using RegEx. Next, it appears that what you're doing here:
#artist#", "ALL")>
is you have two queries, one of the event(s), one grabbing a list of
artists. Are you sorting
Hi Bobby,
Out of interest, how would I reorder by length? In the query? MySQL 4.1.7

Yes, Do it in your query. Try this...
Select artist
>From tablename
Order by length(artist)
