Hi, all. Thanks a lot for your help. I think I solved the problem, with your help, off course. Please, correct me if I'm wrong. I used the Reid Thompson idea to sort and filter the file removing duplicated pass1, pass2 and passN values. The I used the Tim Chase search regex to find any remaining duplicates differentiated only by the "pass" type. The search found nothing! What is a good thing because I cannot have the same value for different passes. Thanks a lot! -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
