Duplicate (tag)line Detector/Deleter version 0.01
Written by Dana Booth at 1:138/179 or crom@eskimo.com
-----------------------------------------------------
description: Very simply, this little util will detect and delete any
duplicate lines appearing in a textfile. I made this for
tagline file purposes, but I suppose it's not limited to
that.
usage: The command line is 'DLD [\path\]filename'. DLD will
delete any duplicate lines found within the target text file
listed on the command line. DLD will not work across drives.
warrenty: I guarentee that DLD will take up space on your hard drive.
Other than that, you're on your own.
other stuff: DLD will not keep the file in any sort of alphabetical or
other order when it's done. Also, DLD takes time to do its
stuff. It took me approximately a minute to do a run on a
tagline file which contained 1500+ taglines, on a p-100. The
amount of time to do larger files will increase exponentially
the larger the text file.
in closing: As with everything else that makes its way off of my machine,
DLD is free. (I've seen people want shareware money for stuff
even simpler than this, sheesh!) Send any comments or just a
laurel and a hardy 'hello' to me if you get the chance. :)
