How to create a multivalue FieldC with the common values found in multivalue fields FieldA and FieldB?

I have two fields that are multivalue, and I need to know what they have in common.

For instance, given:
a=[1,2,3]
b=[2,3,4]
I want to create:
c=[2,3]

I made it work with some crazy mvexpand, but I'd really rather not do that. I tried to make it work using a combination of mvfilter and mvfind, but couldn't make that work, either.

Any thoughts on how to do this more efficiently?

Cheers.

you can use also mvindex and mvzip command to do it.

the if() or case() and match( ) functions are used to build your condictions fine on.
