Rails 3. How to get the difference between two arrays?
First you would get a list of shipping_id's that appear in invoices:
ids = i.map{|x| x.shipment_id}
Then 'reject' them from your original array:
s.reject{|x| ids.include? x.id}
Note: remember that reject returns a new array, use reject! if you want to change the original array
Use substitute sign
irb(main):001:0> [1, 2, 3, 2, 6, 7] - [2, 1]=> [3, 6, 7]
