Subtract list my script is not working ?

[ddlx 4]

Hi all

 

Got a proble with $subtract lists  :

 

I have a list A   :

 

a

b

c

d

e

 

I have a list b   :

 

b

c

d

 

i want a list C  = listA  - listB

 

a

e

 

so i use $subtract lists

 

here is my code :

 

clear list(%listA)
clear list(%listB)
clear list(%listC)
add item to list(%listA, $list from file("{$special folder("Application")}\\listA.txt"), "Delete", "Global")
add item to list(%listB, $list from file("{$special folder("Application")}\\listB.txt"), "Delete", "Global")
add item to list(%listC, $subtract lists(%listA, %listB), "Delete", "Global")
set(#listC, %listC, "Global")

 

Strangely the ListC =

 

a

b

c

d

e

 

 

Is this normal ?

You should use command "add itemS to list" instead of "add item to list"!

 

"add item" only adds one item, so in your case every list had one item, and all were different...so UBot returned the ListC which was correct behaviour for your code.

 

Here is a quick example:

clear list(%A)
clear list(%
clear list(%C)
add list to list(%A, $list from text("a
b
c
d
e", $new line), "Delete", "Global")
add list to list(%B, $list from text("b
c
d", $new line), "Delete", "Global")
add list to list(%B, $list from text("b
c
d", $new line), "Delete", "Global")
add list to list(%C, $subtract lists(%A, %, "Delete", "Global")

I have used the subtract feature / command on lists 30/40k +. It takes a while but it preforms the action.

It also works well for me (at least I didn't have problems till today).
