You could do it like this in the script:

Field1:

LOAD * INLINE [

Field1

Car

Mazda

Honda

Toyota

];

Field2:

LOAD * INLINE [

Field2

Car2

Merzedez

Honda

Hyundai

];

Result2:

Load

Field2 as Result2 resident Field2 where exists(Field1, Field2);

Result1:

Load Field1 as Result1 resident Field1 where not exists(Field2,Field1);

Load Field2 as Result1 resident Field2 where not exists(Field1,Field2);

Hope this helps,

Stefan
