Wrench 2 columns of data

Hello folks,

I have been learning Linux for a couple of weeks, and i am facing a simple problem that i couldn't resolve.
I have a file with 2 columns of data, the first coloumn always has text, and the second coloumn sometimes has text and, sometimes blank.
I want to make a new file with the first column hits that match a blank coloumn.

I've bene trying to use cut and grep but couldn't find a formula to indicate empty lines with them.
I hope that was clear Smilie

Thanks,
Error404
