Suppose file A has: AAA BBB DUPLICATE CCC and file B has 111 DUPLICATE 222 333
I'd like to combine the two files without changing the order of the lines AND without including duplicate lines, so the end result might be something like this: 111 DUPLICATE 222 333 AAA BBB CCC I can only use /bin/uniq if I first sort the combined file, and as noted I don't want to change the order of the lines in each file. Surely this wheel has already been invented... but all my googling just turns up information on how to use a combination of sort+uniq to do the job. -- Peter B.
