validate a value base on the lookup

I have a csv lookup table like:
item, expression
a, "value>12 AND value<14"
b, "value=1"
c, "value!=111 "
d, "value<10 OR value>100"
....

And I have the log like:
2016-09-09 13:13:13, item=a, value=13
2016-09-09 13:13:14, item=b, value=131
2016-09-09 13:13:15, item=c, value=3
2016-09-09 13:13:16, item=d, value=1

I can lookup ouput a new field called expression base on the lookup table. And I want to validate if the value in each record matches the corresponding expression. Is it possible to do that?

Thanks
