[LRUG] Subtracting two arrays

A quick technical question if I may.
I'm still learning Ruby and have come across something which I feel sure
the standard libraries should be able to do, but I can't find an
existing way to do it.
I have two arrays, one of which lists all the rooms in a school and the
other of which lists all the rooms currently in use. I want to print a
list of free rooms, so essentially I need a new array consisting of all
the elements of the first array which aren't in the second array.
Obviously I can hand-craft a suitable function quite easily, but I'm
getting used to being able to do all these sort of things with a simple
Ruby one-liner. Does such a way exist?
TIA,
John
