Hi,
I googled for a while, but failed to find the perfect answer,
for a string
['85CUR', '85CUR']
That's not a string, it is a list.
how can I unique it as:
['85CUR']
Your question is unclear. If you have this:
['85CUR', '99bcd', '85CUR', '85CUR']
what do you expect to get?
# keep only the very first item
['85CUR']
# keep the first copy of each string, in order
['85CUR', '99bcd']
# keep the last copy of each string, in order
['99bcd', '85CUR']
# ignore duplicates only when next to each other
['85CUR', '99bcd', '85CUR']
Does the order of the result matter?
If order matters, and you want to keep the first copy of each string:
unique = []
for item in items:
if item not in unique:
unique.append(item)
If order doesn't matter, then use this:
unique = list(set(items))
