lis3=DeleteCases[lis1, _?(Intersection[#, lis2]!={}&)] or lis3=DeleteCases[lis1, _?(MemberQ[lis2, Last[#]]&)] Bob Hanlon In article <bfqt01$nsu$1 at smc.vnet.net>, "The Leddons" <jleddon1 at comcast.net> wrote: << I have 2 lists, lis1 and lis2, I want to compare to each other for the purpose of deleting sublists of lis1 that have elements matching those in lis2. I tried this: lis1 = {{2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, C1}, {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 71, B6}, {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, C11}, {4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 7, C4}, {23, 3, 2, 5, 6, 7, M2}, {2, 3, 9, 5, 6, 71, B3}}; lis2 = {C11, B6, B3}; lis3 = DeleteCases[lis1, {x_lis2}, {2}] What I want is: lis3 = {{2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, C1}, {4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 7, C4}, {23, 3, 2, 5, 6, 7, M2}}; However, this didn't work. Note that I want to delete all cases containing B.
