if(menuItemName.indexOf(":")!=-1)
{
menuItemName = menuItemName.split(":")[1];
}
if (allMenuItems[l].id.indexOf(menuItem)!=-1
&& allMenuItems[l].text.toLowerCase() == menuItemName)

You can use this function to hide any menu items rendered in the ListViewWebPart toolbar which is used in the list view pages, just call the function and pass the menu item names ( comma separated ) as they appear in the toolbar ignoring the case. Only one exception to that when you need to hide "Create View" which appears twice one in "List Settings" and the other one in the view selector, in order to resolve this conflict just call the function as follows : hideListViewToolbarItems("settings:create view") or hideListViewToolbarItems("view:create view").
