Removing data from tables

[jason2010]

so say i had a table

table1 = {"oranges", "apples", "bananas", "dogs", "cats", "rabbits"}

And i wanted to make a table of stuff to remove from that table

table2 = {"dogs", "cats", "rabbits"}

how would I make it so that all the stuff from table2 is taken from table1 so i end up with

finaltable = {"oranges", "apples", "bananas"}

thanks
jason

local x = { "a", "pie", "delta", "money" }
table.remove( x, 2 )
Msg( x ) -- { "a", "delta", "money" }

gmod wiki is teh best, you can find everything for tables at [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Table[/url]

the code above will give you everything except the sencond ( note the 2 ) part of the table
