Remove multiple elements from array in Javascript/jQuery

Question

I have two arrays. The first array contains some values while the second array contains indices of the values which should be removed from the first array. For example:

<

Answer 1

If you are using underscore.js, you can use _.filter() to solve your problem.

var valuesArr = new Array("v1","v2","v3","v4","v5");
var removeValFromIndex = new Array(0,2,4);
var filteredArr = _.filter(valuesArr, function(item, index){
                  return !_.contains(removeValFromIndex, index);
                });

Additionally, if you are trying to remove items using a list of items instead of indexes, you can simply use _.without(), like so:

var valuesArr = new Array("v1","v2","v3","v4","v5");
var filteredArr = _.without(valuesArr, "V1", "V3");

Now filteredArr should be ["V2", "V4", "V5"]
