Question : Best solution for comparing and removing string form data

Hello, what would be the best classic .asp solution for comparing and removing form string data from session data without running multiple loops? E.g. I have form data from selected check boxes that looks like this: 209,553,246 and I would like to have those numbers removed from my session data: 552, 209,775,353, 632,754, 246.

I created a ASP script with a loop within a loop but its very sloppy and would like some new direction on this! Thanks

Answer : Best solution for comparing and removing string form data

Hi inrworx,
At least you only loop the checked items and use replace() function to remove the checked from the stored session.
Otherwise, you may try regular expression to remove the items.

			  Response.write(sOriginal)
