Return type: slist
Description: Returns the unique elements in list1 that are also in list2.
This function can accept many types of data parameters.
Arguments:
Example:

}
bundle agent test
{
vars:
"a" slist => { 1,2,3,"x" };
"b" slist => { "x" };
"mylist1" slist => { "a", "b" };
"mylist2" slist => { "a", "b" };
"$(mylist1)_str" string => join(",", $(mylist1));
"int_$(mylist1)_$(mylist2)" slist => intersection($(mylist1), $(mylist2));
"int_$(mylist1)_$(mylist2)_str" string => join(",", "int_$(mylist1)_$(mylist2)");
reports:
"The intersection of list '$($(mylist1)_str)' with '$($(mylist2)_str)' is '$(int_$(mylist1)_$(mylist2)_str)'";
}
Output:
R: The intersection of list '1,2,3,x' with '1,2,3,x' is '1,2,3,x'
R: The intersection of list '1,2,3,x' with 'x' is 'x'
R: The intersection of list 'x' with '1,2,3,x' is 'x'
