- FDUPLINS removes superfluous (duplicated) lines from a SORTED file. No lines
- are lost, since exactly one copy (the last) of every different line is saved.
-
- Usage: FDUPLINS source_file new_destination_file [/c[y|N]] [/d#]
- where "/cy" is case sensitive, "/cn" is case insensitive, and
- where "d#" is the number of characters at the beginning of the
- line to disregard, e.g. - "/d5" ignores the first 5 characters.
-
- It takes a minimum of two parameters on the command line: the name of the
- original file followed by a new file name, which will be the sanitized file.
-
- The other two parameters are optional. If /c or /cy is entered on the command
- line the program operates in case sensitive mode, i.e. "david" is considered
- different from "David". If /cn is entered, case is ignored in determining
- duplication. This is the default.
-
- If "/d" followed by a number (up to 255) is entered, that many characters at
- the beginning of the line are Disregarded (ignored) when in determining
- duplication. Zero is the default. This option was created so a file could
- be have its lines numbered, sorted, have the duplicates removed, and then be
- unsorted using the line numbers originally added. Removal of those line
- numbers completes the process.
-
- Wildcards are not allowed.
