Synopsis

string[] stringArrayRemoveExact(string[] $itemsToRemove, string[] $list)

Remove the string items in the first string array from the second string array. A new string array with the items removed is returned. The second argument is left unchanged.

Note that, as opposed to 'stringArrayRemove', for each occurrence of an entry in $item, only one entry from $list will be removed.

Return value

string[] : Original list with all occurrences of the string items removed. If none of the string items are in the string array then the returned string array is identical to the argument string array.

Arguments
Variable Name Variable Type Description
$itemsToRemovestring[]A list of string values to remove from the string array.
$liststring[]The array to be acted upon.

MEL examples

  string $list[] = { "a", "b", "a", "a", "c" };
  string $itemsToRemove[] = { "a", "c", "a" };
  string $diff[] = stringArrayRemoveExact($itemsToRemove, $list);
  // Result : { b, a } //
