Hi Thomas
I don't yet know revolution well enough to check your coding quickly, but it does seem a little long winded.
Perhaps you could try something along these lines.
found=false
sort field "myList"
repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in field "myList"
If char 1 of line x of mylist is among the items of "123" and char 2 of line x of mylist is among the items of "123" and char 3 of line x of mylist is among the items of "123" then
If found then
delete line x of field "myList"
beep
else found = true
end repeat
the found flag should make sure that the first occurence is left intact.
I'm sorry if any of the syntax is incorrect as I am new to revolution, but I am fairly certain that the logic will achieve your goal.
Regards
Steve

I have a problem where I have a field filled with 3 single digit numbers per line (210 lines). I wanted to find and delete any lines that had ALL of the same numbers in it but in any order - so 123 and 213 and 321 and 312 would be duplicates and I would delete all but the first one.
The only thing I could think of was to convert the list to items with commas between them and use the "is among" command.
I think I did it right but each time I try this I get different results from the following script. They are close but different.
I thought I would go with use one line to check all of the other lines and if a total match is found then delete that line. But looking through the list that is left over after this runs I still find a bunch of "duplicates" - 1,3,2 and later on a 3,1,2 which should be deleted.
Any ideas what I did wrong??? Or where my square peg thinking got me into trouble???
Mouse handler with two fields: myList has the list of random numbers
and myCount which holds the final count. I am trying to find an answer for my daughters Math problem and this is the last part of it.
sort field "myList" put the number of lines of field "myList" &cr after field "myCount" repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in field "myList" put char 1 of line x of field "myList" & "," into myTemp put char 2 of line x of field "myList" & "," after myTemp put char 3 of line x of field "myList" after myTemp put myTemp into line x of field "myList" end repeat repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in field "myList" repeat with y = 1 to (the number of lines in field "myList" - 1) put y + 1 into y put item 1 of line y of field "myList" into H put item 2 of line y of field "myList" into I put item 3 of line y of field "myList" into G put line x of field "myList" into J
if H is among the items of J then if I is among the items of J then if G is among the items of J then delete line y + 1 of field "myList" beep end if end if end if end repeat
