Here is a small piece of code if it could be helpful.
################## START #########################
#!f:/perl/bin/perl.exe
# set the above to your perl path.
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI qw(:standard);
use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser';
my $q = new CGI;
open (DUPF,"dupes.txt"); # name of the file containig dupes to be removed.
open (OUTF,">>dupes_removed.txt"); #new file with dupes removed.
my %saw;
print OUTF grep(!$saw{$_}++,<DUPF>);
close OUTF;
close DUPF;
print $q->header();
print "Duplicate Enteries Removed";
exit;
##################### End of Code ####################################
Thanks,
Sara.

Subject: RE: Filering a file
Hello David,
I'm able to open the file, read the contents and output the results of my
initial filtering to a new file.
The problem is that my new file has duplicate entries, and cleaning up
duplicates is where I'm stuck.
Kind regards
Dayo

How do I write a script to parse through this file and just return the
unique names. Ie I want the repetitions ignored.
What have you tried? Where are you stuck? (Opening the file? Reading
the contents? The actual filtering?). Nothing in your question is CGI
related, have you got this working as a command line script but are
having trouble converting it to work under CGI? What code have you got
so far?
