Any reason why you cant sort? If not,=20
cat file_name | sort -u
should give you unique items.

A PERL script would do it in about 3 lines ( excluding wrappers, etc. ) Of course, TIMTOWTDI. (ask Jared!)=20
Hell, if it's under several hundred thousand lines, load it via=20 sqlldr into a table, and declare the text as a primary key, enable the key, stash the violations by ROWID into another table, delete=20 as necessary, and spool it back out to a file.=20

does anyone know of a way i can remove duplicate lines from a file.
I can use the sort -u command but is there any other way to do it without
sorting the file?
