- **Keywords:** array, pull, remove, values, filter, lodash

## Overview

Remove all occurrences of specified values from an array.

**Highlights:**
- Uses lodash `_.pull`
- Accepts values to remove as a JSON array
- Optional case-insensitive matching for string arrays

**Example:**
- Array: `[1, 2, 2, 3]`
- Values: `[2]`
- Result: `[1, 3]`

## Inputs

- **Array** (textarea): Enter a JSON array
- **Values to Remove** (textarea): JSON array of values to remove
- **Case Sensitive** (checkbox): Uncheck for case-insensitive string matching

## When to use

- When cleaning data arrays by removing null, duplicate, or erroneous entries.
- For filtering lists in programming or data processing to exclude specific elements.
- To manage arrays by deleting unwanted values efficiently in workflows.

## How it works

- Input your array as a JSON array in the 'Array' field.
- Specify the values to remove as a JSON array in the 'Values to Remove' field.
- Optionally uncheck 'Case Sensitive' for case-insensitive string matching.
- The tool processes the input and returns the modified array with values removed.

## Use cases

- Data preprocessing: Remove placeholder or error values from datasets for accurate analysis.
- Application development: Filter out banned words or spam entries from user input arrays.
- Inventory management: Delete discontinued items from product lists to maintain updated records.

## Frequently asked questions

### What does this tool do?

It removes all instances of specified values from an input array using lodash _.pull.

### Can it handle non-JSON inputs?

No, both the array and values must be valid JSON arrays.

### Is case sensitivity enabled by default?

Yes, string matching is case-sensitive by default; uncheck the option for case-insensitive removal.

### What types of values can be removed?

Any JSON-compatible values, such as numbers, strings, or objects.

### Does it modify the original array?

No, it returns a new array with the specified values removed, leaving the input unchanged.
