compare lists and delete duplicate

[HarryPotter 9]

hey guys,

 

here is the scenario.

 

i have list 1, which is a list that is already processed.

 

then i have list 2, a totally separate list that needs to be compared against.

 

IF any lines in list 2 are also in list 1, then delete it from list 2.

 

the remainder of list 2 will be then processed with the bot.

 

is there a function in ubot that does this?

 

thank you!!!

Two commands come to mind.

 

"$common list items" and "$subtract lists"

 

You will find them in the Variable Constants.

if somebody is not lazy as me and makes ubot file and attach it here for editing would be sweet ;p

working like a charm, thanks!

 

tip, just make sure to put the prescreen list in list 1, then the list to check against in list 2 when using SUBTRACT

 

even if you mix it up though, it's easy to figure out with a save to file and stop script

Has something changed on this command? I have been trying to get it working for 2 hrs on two simple lists and it just adds the two list together. I followed it just as the tutorial in the help menu. What am I doing wrong?

 

Below is my simple robot to test the command.

 

Thanks in advance

 

add item to list(%test1, $list from text("apple, pear, banana", ","), "Delete", "Global")
add item to list(%test2, $list from text("banana, car", ","), "Delete", "Global")
save to file("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Chris\\My Documents\\ubot\\Projects\\Contests\\win-free-stuff-ca\\test1.txt", $common list items(%test2, %test1))
