Hello, I made a code that compares two strings and what I want to do is to delete from the old strings the lines that are in the new one.
tf = strcmp(seq1,seq2);  
        disp('Comparing')
        disp(seq1);
        disp(seq2);
        disp(tf);
        if tf == 1
           disp('Ha entrado al if')
             M_conjunt = [M_conjunt,seq1];
        end
I want to delete the ones that are in M_conjunt from both seq1 and seq2. I do not know how to do it. Thank youu!!!!

				It is not clear, what the inputs seq1 and seq2 are: CHAR vectors, Strings, cell strings, string arrays?
The useful functions are: ismember, setdiff, union, unique.

        what I want to do is to delete from the old strings the lines that are in the new one.
For example,
oldstring=["dog"; "fish"; "cat";"zebra"]
newstring=["fish"; "zebra"]
difference=setdiff(oldstring,newstring)
