json.removeFirst() Function

Introduced in version 1.4.0.3
Is similar to json.difference() but will only remove the first occurrence of a match.

Usage

json.removeFirst(array1, array2)

Parameters

  • array1 - A JSON array.
  • array2 - A JSON array.

Compares the two arrays and removes the first element from the first array matching an element in the second.

Examples

[json.removeFirst('[2,2,4,5,6,6,4]', '[2,6]')]

Outputs:

  [2,4,5,6,4]

Difference between json.removeFirst() and json.difference().

[h: a1 = '[1,2,2,2,3,3,4,5,6,6]']
[h: a2 = '[2,4,6]']
[r: json.difference(a1,a2)]
<!-- a1 has been modified - reset -->
[h: a1 = '[1,2,2,2,3,3,4,5,6,6]']
[r: json.removeFirst(a1,a2)]

Outputs:

  [1,3,5]
  [1,2,2,3,3,5,6]
