Zimbabwe Twenty20 Triangular Series
West Indies A v India A
England v West Indies

I need to only output unique lines as below.

Please note that I cant use "sort | uniq" as the order needs to be maintained.

Thanks
Arun

Why not simply this ?

awk '!x[$0]++' /path/to/input

Hope This Helps, PH.

mrn,

Thanks for your post. I cant sort as I need to maintain the order, meaning the first occurrence of a string must remain in its original position.

PH,

Your 'awk' statement works great. Appreciate it!

Thanks,
Arun
