Remove items contained in an ArrayList from another ArrayList in PowerShell












0














I've got two ArrayLists listA and listB. listB is a subset of listA.
Now I want to remove all items contained in listB from listA.



Here is how my lists look like:





Name     ID    Domain

----     --    ------

item1    456   domain1

item2    716   domain2

item3    421   domain2

item4    796   domain1






Name     ID    Domain

----     --    ------

item2    716   domain2

item4    796   domain1


I've already tried using



$listA = $listA | Where-Object {$listB -notcontains $_}


but this did not work on my data.

    did you try compare-object?

  • @4c74356b41 is right. If you had simple string values in either arraylists your example would work.

    Your approach would only work if both lists contained the same object. It does not work if you have different objects with the same property values (identity vs. equality). Use Compare-Object as 4c74356b41 suggested.

You can do this using the Compare-Object cmdlet.

If your lists are like this:



$listA = @()

$listA += [PSCustomObject]@{Name = 'item1' ; ID = '456'; Domain = 'domain1'}

$listA += [PSCustomObject]@{Name = 'item2' ; ID = '716'; Domain = 'domain2'}

$listA += [PSCustomObject]@{Name = 'item3' ; ID = '421'; Domain = 'domain2'}

$listA += [PSCustomObject]@{Name = 'item4' ; ID = '796'; Domain = 'domain1'}



$listB = @()

$listB += [PSCustomObject]@{Name = 'item2' ; ID = '716'; Domain = 'domain2'}

$listB += [PSCustomObject]@{Name = 'item4' ; ID = '796'; Domain = 'domain1'}


then to remove all objects in $listA that are also in $listB taking all properties into account, do this:



$listA = $listA | Where-Object {(Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $_ -DifferenceObject $listB -Property Name,ID,Domain).SideIndicator -eq '<=' }


After this, $listA will have only these two members left:




Name  ID  Domain 

----  --  ------ 

item1 456 domain1

item3 421 domain2



Edit



Instead of actually naming the properties to compare like in the above, you can also collect them in a variable. For PS versions 3 and up you do this:



$props = $listA[0].psobject.properties.name


PowerShell versions below 3.0 use:



$props = $listA[0].psobject.properties | ForEach-Object { $_.name }


Then you can change the line to



$listA = $listA | Where-Object {(Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $_ -DifferenceObject $listB -Property $props).SideIndicator -eq '<=' }


This of course only if both lists have the same property names to compare..
