Dumb Stupid Question About List and String

[Alban Nona]

Ok, here a solution:

myFirstList = ["FN067_098_MEN", "FN067_098_JIN", "FN067_098_BG"]

mySecondList =
["FN067_098_MEN_Hair_PUZ_v001.0001.exr","FN067_098_JIN_Hair_SPC_v001.0001.exr","FN067_098_MEN_Jin_MVE_v001.0001.exr","FR043_010_GEN_NRM_v001.0001.exr"]

for n in myFirstList:

     var = str(n)

     for n in mySecondList:

         if var in n:

              mySecondList.remove(n)

print mySecondList


:)
