The definition is: Take hold of (something) and quickly remove it from its place; pick and synonyms include "pull" and "gather". As Ralph noted, "column" is overloaded, as it has connotations dealing with databases as well as tables, and arrays often represent neither. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Project Lead | matthew@zend.com Zend Framework | http://framework.zend.com/ PGP key: http://framework.zend.com/zf-matthew-pgp-key.asc
