Here is an example how you could cycle and compare array elements (example with integers) and print only those from array 1, which are not in array 2:
Code:
$ cat ./mach.ksh
#!/usr/bin/ksh

set -A ARR1 4 1 3 2
set -A ARR2 5 6 2 7 4 8

MAX=$((${#ARR2[*]}-1))

for a in ${ARR1[*]}; do
        COUNT=0
        set -A HITS
        for b in ${ARR2[*]}; do
                (( $a != $b )) && \
                HITS[$COUNT]=$a && \
                let COUNT+=1
        done
        (( ${#HITS[*]} != $MAX )) && \
        print ${HITS[0]}
        unset HITS
done

exit 0

$ ./mach.ksh

Somehow there is a blank line at the end. Didn't find where it comes from Smilie

Maybe other people have more efficient algorithm to do this which would be interessting for me too.

If you have 2 files with the lists of files you might want to compare, a grep -f file1 file2 or grep -vf file1 file2 might be more efficient than my example.

MakeMethods::Utility::Ref(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			    MakeMethods::Utility::Ref(3pm)

NAME
Class::MakeMethods::Utility::Ref - Deep copying and comparison SYNOPSIS
use Class::MakeMethods::Utility::Ref qw( ref_clone ref_compare ); $deep_copy = ref_clone( $original ); $positive_zero_or_negative = ref_compare( $item_a, $item_b ); DESCRIPTION
This module provides utility functions to copy and compare arbitrary references, including full traversal of nested data structures. REFERENCE The following functions are provided: ref_clone() Make a recursive copy of a reference. ref_compare() Attempt to recursively compare two references. If they are not the same, try to be consistent about returning a positive or negative number so that it can be used for sorting. The sort order is kinda arbitrary. SEE ALSO
See Class::MakeMethods for general information about this distribution. See Ref for the original version of the clone and compare functions used above. See Clone (v0.09 on CPAN as of 2000-09-21) for a clone method with an XS implementation. The Perl6 RFP #67 proposes including clone functionality in the core. See Data::Compare (v0.01 on CPAN as of 1999-04-24) for a Compare method which checks two references for similarity, but it does not provide positive/negative values for ordering purposes. perl v5.10.1 2004-09-06 MakeMethods::Utility::Ref(3pm)
