I have a list like this: 1 a 2 b 2 c 3 a 4 d 4 d 4 e 4 f 5 g and I want to make the first column non-redundant and collect the second column values on the same line, like this: 1 a 2 b,c 3 a 4 d,e,f 5 g Please note that line 4 only has one 'd'. I've tried with both hashes and arrays (don't want to confuse you so I won't display them here), but nothing really works... I would really appreciate any help!
