How to use list difference

  1. Paste the source list and the list of entries to remove.
  2. Choose the case comparison and calculate first list minus second list.

What to know about the result

  • Comparison is directional: items appearing only in the second list are not added.
  • Outer whitespace, blank entries, and duplicate results are removed; first-list spelling and order are retained.
