Hi Peter,
There's a file which goes roughly:
1 anything
2 anything
3 anything
4 anything
etc
It can always be sorted by the first item. Sometimes a duplicate
entry will
creep in, so the file will look
1 anything
2 anything
2 anything
3 anything
4 anything
or perhaps
1 anything
2 anything
3 anything
3 anything
4 anything
What's the quickest way of checking for this condition - when the
two items 1
of any two adjacent lines are identical? I have found a brute force
way to
do it using filter, but it is really clunky and slow.
use a very smart "repeat for each" loop ;-)
on mouseUp
put fld 1 into tList
## or whatever...
set itemdel to TAB
## so we chan check the first time...
put empty into tPrev_item1
repeat for each line i in tList
if item 1 of i <> tPrev_item1 then
put i & CR after tNewlist
end if
## so we can check this item of the line BEFORE the actual line
(i) :-)
put item 1 of i into tPrev_item1
end repeat
## get rid of trailing CR
delete char -1 of tNewlist
put tNewlist into fld 2
end mouseUp
Tested and works.
Of course you MUST sort the lines first by item 1!
Cheers
Peter
