If one can assume there are no duplicates in list2 then:

list1 = {a, b, b, e};
list2 = {{a, aP}, {b, bP}, {c, cP}, {d, dP}, {e, eP}, {f, fP}};

First[Cases[list2, {#, x_} -> x]] & /@ list1
{aP, bP, bP, eP}

Dear all,

Below I have two lists.

The elements x in list1 all appear again in the 2nd level of list2
together with an associated parameter xP.

I want to extract the xP as illustrated below.

I have the feeling it can be done in an easier way.



Does anyone have an idea how?



Thanks for your help,



Maarten





list1={a,b,b,e};



list2={{a,aP},{b,bP},{c,cP},{d,dP},{e,eP},{f,fP}};





pos = Flatten[Position[list2,x_List/;x[[1]]==#]&/@list1];



list2[[pos,2]]



Out-> {aP,bP,bP,eP}
