    Compare two lists and find common entries

    Hi guys, I hope someone can help me.

    If I have two lists of entries, such as:

    (list A)
    DOG
    CAT
    BIRD
    HORSE
    COW

    and

    (list B)
    ELEPHANT
    HORSE
    SHEEP
    CAT

    is there any way to find which entries appear in both lists (HORSE, CAT) and remove them the list B, so that the list B at the end contains only the new entries, which didn't appear in the list A?

    I suppose it's not difficult, but have no idea how to do it.

    THANX A LOT!
