Removing elements from a list that are elements in another list

Hi All,

I was wondering if somebody could tell me if there is an efficient way
to do the following. Say I have a list(or vector) A and a list B, I want
to remove any elements in B, that are also elements in A.

Can you provide more information about the elements in the list or
vector.Like the type information. Because efficient algorithm IMO would
depend on the type of data in the vector/list. So if you could provide
that data I could give it a try.

Thank you,
