Removing duplicates from a ListView?

[Gui]

Aye guys, I have a basic script that gathers random words and phrases. It navigates to a site that generates em', and pulls the words and phrases off, then adds them to a listview. Some words and phrases are duplicates, so is there a way to remove the duplicates , so that there is basically only one of each? Thanks.

GUI.

Script to Help a little :

Func start()
    While $running
            $ma = _INetGetSource('***The URL***') ; Don't worry why it's _INetGetSource, that is just the way you can get them. It works trust me.
            _GUICtrlListbox_AddString($words,$ma)
            _GUICtrlStatusBar_SetText($StatusBar1,'Items Aquired : ' & _GUICtrlListBox_GetCount($words))
    WEnd
EndFunc

Gui,

A simple way that springs to mind would be to use _GUICtrlListView_GetItemCount and _GUICtrlListView_GetItemText to get the current contents of the ListView into an array. Then either add the new data and use _ArrayUnique to remove an eventual duplicate, or use _ArraySearch to find a matches before adding the new data. The only drawback would be the size of the array in memory, but you could always Dim and ReDim the array to reduce its size between fetches - depending on the time interval. If the interval is very short, your ListView is going to get to a fair size pretty quickly anyway.
