Hi again all, Thanks for the help before it worked a treat. What i'm looking to do now with this file:
ght-Skem ght-Skem ght-Skem hjy-TOB hjy-TOB hjy-TOB etc....etc.... Aswell as removing the repeated data, i could also do with some type of count next to the device that shows how many times it was repeated. Like: ght-Skem 3 hjy-TOB 3 etc...etc... Does anyone know of a way this could be done? Cheers!
