Hi icqman,

On 07 August 2000 at 01:01:20 GMT +0800 (which was 18:01 where I
live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote and made these points on the subject
of "delete duplicate lines ?":

i> I try to import

Import? Funny thing to try to do IMHO.

i> the above txt into the bat....... no can do..... or i dont know the
i> syntax..... or i am stupid to try to do this?

For what purpose? To what part of TB? Into the Address book? These are
not  really  addresses nor are they formatted in any way that would be
compatible  with an address book. Into a message - sure you can import
to a message from a text file or from the clipboard, that's a simple a
basic function of the message editor. Into a message-base folder? Only
messages can be imported.

i> Now  this question may be offtopic but i need your help.

i> How do i go about to delete the duplicate lines?

i> So  can  THEBAT!!!!!  do the delete duplicate LINES if this 1.4 meg

No - nothing like :-/

i> I must be crazy ?

That remains to be seen <g>.

i> OK. Is there a program which can remove duplicate lines from a text

i> I want only one line of it.

Actually this came up only last week and the only suggestions that had
any sense to them were these from Steve Lamb:

    The GNU text utils would work wonders here.

type file | sort | uniq > file.new

    Sort  will  put them all in order and then uniq will return only a
single occurrence of any repeating line.
