Remove matching entries from an array

[Rakshanda Kunte]

Hi All,

Requirement:

I have 2 arrays.

array1 = ['Software', 'Hardware', 'Service Catalog']

array2 = ['Technology', 'Governance', 'Hardware', 'HR', 'Service Desk', 'Service Catalog', 'Software']

If whatever present in array1, is matching the names in array 2, then remove those names from array 2 and give the new array.

Output should be:

array2 = ['Technology', 'Governance', 'HR', 'Service Desk']

Kindly, help with scripting.

Hi @Rakshanda Kunte 

you can use API method ArrayUtil.diff() for your use case, see https://developer.servicenow.com/dev.do#!/reference/api/vancouver/server_legacy/c_ArrayUtilAPI#r_AU-...

Hi @Rakshanda Kunte 

Let's try ServiceNow ArrayUtil.

var array1 = ['Software', 'Hardware', 'Service Catalog'];
var array2 = ['Technology', 'Governance', 'Hardware', 'HR', 'Service Desk', 'Service Catalog', 'Software'];

var result = new ArrayUtil().diff(array2, array1);
gs.log(result);
