I need to select out the elements of the first list whose first elements are contained in the second list. For example

first list: {{a,x},{b,y},{c,z}}

second list: {b,c,d}

result: {{b,y},{c,z}}

Is there a quick way to do this? Intersection, maybe somehow?




Try this:

Select[{{a, x}, {b, y}, {c, z}}, MemberQ[{b, c, d}, #[[1]]] &]

{{b, y}, {c, z}}

Have fun.
