I guess I "overkilled" it as usual. Oh well - glad it works!

Hi Phil,
Thanks very much. You solved my problem. I was unaware of "delete variable
myArray[tKey]"
That is very fast.
It appears that this works as well:
repeat for each key tKey in the keys of arrayOne
delete variable arrayTwo[tKey]
end repeat
This provided a very simple way to "subtract" elements of one array from the
other.
Thanks again,
Jim
Hi Jim,
I suppose you could do a union (yielding a 3rd array) and an intersect
(yielding a 4th array) and then remove the intersect elements from the
union array. It's not what you wanted but it would work. Like so:
put arrayOne into intersectA
intersect intersectA with arrayTwo
put arrayOne into unionA
union unionA with arrayTwo
repeat for each key tKey in intersectA
delete variable unionA[tKey]
end repeat
-- now unionA contains the anti-intersection (?) of the two original arrays
