Re: Removing duplicates from 2 list

[Irv Kalb]

Why are you having to eliminate duplicates??    Rather than remove 
duplicates after finding matches, only add one of each item that 
matches in both lists to your matchlist.  That's what the code that I 
provided did.

Confused ...

Hello,
After comparing two lists and finding the matches, I have placed them in
a new list. The new list now has duplicates of the same item. I need to
get rid of all the duplicates. This is what I have so far. Shouldn't
this work?
I'm getting an Index out of range error?
  nItemsInListA = count(matchList)
  matchlist.sort()
  repeat with i = 1 to nItemsInListA -1
   
    itemFromML1 = matchlist[i]
    itemFromML2 = matchlist[i +1]
   
   
    first = getOne(matchList, itemFromML1)
    Sec = getOne(matchList, itemFromML2)
   
    if first = Sec then
      matchList.deleteAt(itemFromML2)
    end if

  end repeat 

Thanks,
