removeAll Function

Removes all elements contained in one list from another list. If the name attribute is specified, an existing list is modified. Otherwise, a new list is created.

Example 1

The following expression creates a new list by removing the elements in srclist along with three additional elements.

<removeAll>
   <ref>srclist</ref>
   <list>
      <s>apples</s>
      <s>oranges</s>
      <s>peaches</s>
   </list>
</removeAll>

Example 2

The following expression removes three elements in the list stored in the variable srclist.

<removeAll name=’srclist’>
   <list>
      <s>apples</s>
      <s>oranges</s>
      <s>peaches</s>
   </list>
</removeAll>

This expression results in the following list.

<list>
   <s>wiper blades</s>
</list>
