A bit of a Friday challenge... Is it possible to compare to sequences such that items in the sequence are consumed after the comparison? For example, I want to compare two words to see if one is a subset of the other. "farmer" and "frame" If you do: string-to-codepoints('farmer')[not(. = string-to-codepoints('frame'))] the result is empty because the two r's in farmer are both being compared to the single r in frame. Currently I've a got a recursive function that removes each letter after a match, but I'm wondering if there's a one-liner or some other set based approach? thanks -- Andrew Welch http://andrewjwelch.com Kernow: http://kernowforsaxon.sf.net/
