Hi Skirmantas,
You could use the built-in function *Select*. For instance,
In[1]:=
TBL = {{1, 2, 3, 4}, {5, 6, 7, 8}, {9, 10, 11, 12},
{13, 14, 15, 16}, {17, 18, 19, 20}};
In[2]:=
CNTR = {1, 9, 17};
In[3]:=
Select[TBL, MemberQ[CNTR, #1[[1]]] & ]
Out[3]=
{{1, 2, 3, 4}, {9, 10, 11, 12}, {17, 18, 19, 20}}
Best regards,
Jean-Marc
