Hi, Guest (a nick would be nice),
I assume you've got your lists in memory.
Now you parse the first one (have a look at the loop-command) with the admins to access the admins one by one. For each found admin you try to remove him from the second list (have a look at the StringReplace-command). That's it! Watch out for admin-names which are substrings of mod-names and handle them with care!
Regards,
Klaus
PS: In case of non success, post your code and there will be help!

If you have admins.txt and mods.txt you could use http://www.autohotkey.net/~hugov/tf-lib ... _Substract

Code:

TF_Substract("admins.txt", "mods.txt")

Edit: This also works with vars like so

Code:

admins=
(join`r`n ; this is important to add if you work with vars
dylan
carasi
shawn
paul
valicous
)

mods=
(join`r`n
dylan
chris
carasi
priya
cupcakes
shawn
paul
valicous
)

; i want to remove the admins from mods list ... 
; ( subract items of admins list from mods list )

MsgBox % TF_Substract(admins, mods)
