duplicate detection script needed

[t0ddie]

somewhere in these forums, i thought i saw a script that would parse through a text file, and make a new text file with any duplicate lines erased.

so that the new file would not have any 2 lines that were the same.

anyone know where?

By the way, if you look over to the right of this post you'll see a line that says "Post #5". If you click on that you'll get a dialog that pops up with not only the URL to this thread, but it links to this specific post...

well, this works good but, not the way i want it to

#include <Array.au3>

Dim $a_text
$file = FileOpen("test.txt", 0)

; Check if file opened for reading OK
If $file = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf

; Read in lines of text until the EOF is reached
While 1
    $found = 0
    $line = FileReadLine($file)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    If IsArray($a_text) Then
        For $i = 0 To UBound($a_text) - 1
            If ($a_text[$i] == $line) Then
                $found = 1
                ExitLoop
            EndIf
        Next
    EndIf
    If (Not $found) Then
        If IsArray($a_text) Then
            ReDim $a_text[UBound($a_text) + 1]
        Else
            Dim $a_text[1]
        EndIf
        $a_text[UBound($a_text) - 1] = $line
    EndIf
WEnd

FileClose($file)
_ArrayDisplay($a_text, "Unique")

first of all, its a really nice script.

i need something different though.

pretty much i will have a txt file with data in it. then i want to enter stuff into the file with an inputbox.

the script should check the data from the inputbox against each line from the .txt file.

when it finds a duplicate to the inputbox variable, it says, you already entered that! and does not add it.

otherwise it would add it.

any other scripts like that? i cant figure out how to write my own.
