I don't know what you mean, but filtering and selection can be accomplished

"Functional programming" has become associated with a standard set of
operations: map, fold, filter, etc.  "Filter" means "apply a boolean
function to each element of a list and only keep the values which
return true."

Your explanation of # is exactly what was needed.  It seems people are
looking for a verb named "filter" and not finding one.  Similarly,
"fold" is / in J.
