RE: [PHP] Remove duplicates, as long as you have it.

if the lines are exact duplicates, then you could open the file with PHP or Perl, then scan through it, line by line, each time throwing the line in the next cell of an array....then you should be able to sort by the values in those cells, and after you have that, deleting duplicates would be simple..... -----Original Message----- From: Richard [mailto:oblivion@lunamorena.net] Sent: Sunday, April 22, 2001 12:27 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Remove duplicates, as long as you have it. That removes instances in an array, I am talking about a file. Each line contains non-duplicate words, but the lines are mixed and duplicated, perhaps trippled. - Richard ""Taylor, Stewart"" <Stewart.Taylor@uk.thalesgroup.com> wrote in message news:2B25A9C95DC8D411BBE500508BB19239515CCC@ntslxch1.int.rdel.co.uk... > Have you tried the array_unique function > http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-unique.php > > > -Stewart > > -----Original Message----- > From: Richard [mailto:oblivion@lunamorena.net] > Sent: 22 April 2001 12:36 > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] Remove duplicates, as long as you have it. > > > Greetings. > > I have this link file which has been active for quite a while, but the > problem is that when I used a "admin" program to manage the links > (admin.php) it kinda wrote the file multiple times, which means that it has > sorted the file and added multiple instances of the lines. > > How I managed to create it?
