i have a friend who has a access database that needs some work done on it.
one thin in particular is that it needs to have all duplicate entries
removed. i had him export the database into a comma deliniated file. the
list has 50,000+ entries. now what i need to do is find a script or tool
that will search the text file for duplicate (or sometimes multiple)
entries and remove all but one of those entries.
i've searched freshmeat all day and google as well. i'm not finding
anything. another friend said it could be done in perl or php but i know
neither of them.
does anyone know of a tool that could do this? the text file must remain
in it's current state so it can be imported back into the database.
thanks for any and all help!
