[RESOLVED] Best way to find info NOT in a list using LINQ?

[.paul.]

or using strings instead of integers:

Dim queryAppointments() As String = (From line In IO.File.ReadAllLines("Justices.txt") _
                           Where Not line.Trim = "" _
                           Let fields = line.Split(","c) _
                           Select fields(4)).ToArray
 
Dim queryNoAppointments() As String = Enumerable.Range(1789, 221).Select(Function(i) i.ToString).Except(queryAppointments).ToArray
IO.File.WriteAllLines("filename", queryNoAppointments)
