Compare IEnumerable variables

[IPIX]

contactLink is my IEnumberable variable; it may contains 1 to 10 objects.

Question 1: how to eliminate duplicates (when it contains at least 2 objects) before writing results in another variable called contactResult ?

I was trying using IF activity but failed.

Mine variables are: IEnumberable… tried contactLink.Distinct but it’s not working!
Thanks, but that example is for integers based variable.

Okay, what type of info you are storing into IEnumberable variable, is that type of String or Int ?

Then you can make it as String instead of object

then you can check as below

Compare two Arrays/Lists, return elements Not in common

@Yoichi Hi, I used this code list1.Where(Function(x) not list2.Select(Function(y) y.Trim().ToLower()).Contains(x.Trim().ToLower())).toList() and I ended up with list items with blank content (e.g. “”, " " etc…) how do I remove these?

Hope this will help you

Thanks

Let me check…

[IPIX]

I’ve successfully convert IEnumerable object in one single string
(Assign to a new variable: String.Join(",",name_old_variable).

Now I have a string with 7 emails.

How do I eliminate duplicates?
*the link provided above shows how to compare 2 lists, not usefull.

I’ve managed to eliminate duplicates from one single string
(after I’ve converted IEnumerable variable to String).

Just used Assign activity:

String.Join(", “, variablename.Replace(” “, “”).Split(”,"c).Distinct().ToArray())
