EASY [comparing two vectors of strings]
Hello,
i have two vectors containing strings.These two vectors they dont have the same length.
I need to compare the strings between vector A and vector B ,and find sets of similar strings.
At the end i need to delete the similar strings form vector A.
Thank you for your help a priori.

Re: EASY [comparing two vectors of strings]
You can check if a Vector of Strings contains a specified String. To do that, you envoke the Vector.contains(String) method (which returns a boolean). You would just need to loop through Vector A and envoke the contains() method on Vector B for each of Vector A's indexes.
As for removing the similar Strings, you can loop through Vector A and use the Vector.remove(Object) method, and send it the Strings that you know are similar between the two Vectors. Or, if you were particularly lazy, you could call A.removeAll(B);. I believe that call *should* remove all the elements from Vector A that Vector B also has.

Re: EASY [comparing two vectors of strings]
I think this answer will be helpful. I will try to work it out now.
Below there is the output of the two vectors A and B as an example.
i hope its helpful
----------(suitableForProcess>=1,hasTypeProfile>=1,hasTypicalConsumption>=1,hasLoadProfile>=1,¥hasTypicalConsumption.(Watt>=30,Watt<=30),¥hasTypeProfile.(MediumShift,Shiftable,TypeProfile,Profile),¥hasLoadProfile.(ConstantLoad,LoadProfile,Profile),¥suitableForProcess.(WatchingPhoto,MentalProcess,Process,EnvironmentTemperatureRegulation,Functionality,NormalSafetyLevel,SafetyLevelRegulation,MediumSecurityLevel,SecurityLevelRegulation,SoftLightLevel,LightLevelRegulation,PlayPhoto,!HighSecurityLevel,!LowSecurityLevel,!BrightLightLevel,!LowLightLevel,!NoLight,!NormalLightLevel)) ----------(suitableForProcess>=1,isSuggestedForWeatherCondition>=1,isSuggestedForOutdoorLuminosity>=1,isSuggestedForTemperature>=1,¥isSuggestedForOutdoorLuminosity.(HighLuminosity,OutdoorLuminosity,Weather,!LowLuminosity,!MediumLuminosity),¥isSuggestedForWeatherCondition.(Sunny,WeatherCondition,Weather,!Cloudy,!PartlyCloudy,!Rain),¥isSuggestedForTemperature.(Heat,Temperature,PhysicalStatus,Characteristic,!Cold,!Normal,!Refreshing,!Warmth),¥suitableForProcess.(BodyProcess,Process,EnvironmentTemperatureRegulation,Functionality,Cook,KitchenWork,KitchenLight,LightLevelRegulation,VentilationFunctionality,Eating))
Sorry misread... As started before iterate through one of the vectors and compare against the contents of the other.

Re: EASY [comparing two vectors of strings]
Do you mean java.util.Vector when you say 'vector', or something else? Your problem sounds like it would be natural to solve it with java.util.Set:
The Set Interface (The Java™ Tutorials > Collections > Interfaces)
The method names will be familiar from aussiemcgr's post, but I suspect the implementations / performance (because java.util.Vector implements List) may vary greatly.
Re: EASY [comparing two vectors of strings]
im sorry
noob mistake
i have two vectors containing ITEMS .At the end of the loops of the vectors i get 2 Items and i have to compare them .
they look like this:
ITEM A:---------->suitableForProcess>=1,hasTypeProfile>=1,(Watt>=30 ,Watt<=30),¥hasTypeProfile.(MediumShift,Shiftable, TypeProfile,Profile),¥hasLoadProfile.(ConstantLoad ,LoadProfile,Profile),¥suitableForProcess.(Watchin gPhoto,!NoLight,!NormalLightLevel)
ITEM B:--------->suitableForProcess>=1,isSuggestedForWeatherCondit ion>=1,¥isSuggestedForOutdoorLuminosity.(HighLumin osity,OutdoorLuminosity,Weather,!LowLuminosity,!Me diumLuminosity),¥isSuggestedForTemperature.(Heat,T emperature,PhysicalStatus,Characteristic,!Cold,!No rmal,!Refreshing,!Warmth)
After comparing those items,ill have to eliminate from Item A equal descriptions:
in this example suitableForProcess>=1 must be eliminated
**Note:those are semantic descriptions
