Thanks , but , this work for an ordered substrings , just like what we
had   ['0132442\n', '13\n', '24\n'] , I would like to remove all
substrings from the list , example

['0134314244133', '132443', '234'] 


2nd and 3rd strings are also substrings from the 1st one , so it should
be removed

Thanks
