Hello

I have one text string which is having some duplicate characters (FFGGHHJKL), these can be made unique by using the positive lookahead [perl script for the same$ perl -pe 's/(.)(?=.*?\1)//g']. (FFEEDDCCGG OUTPUT ==> FEDCG)

My question is how to make it work on the numbers (Ex. 212 212 43 43 5689 6689 5689 71 81 === output should be 212 43 5689 6689 71 81) ? Also if we want to have only duplicate records to be given as the output from a file having n rows

(212 212 43 43 5689 6689 5689 71 81 \n 66 66 67 68 69 69 69 71 71 52 ..\n .. .. \n...

OUTPUT ==> 212 212 43 43 5689 5689 \n 66 66 69 69 69 71 71)

then what should be done ?

Thanks and regards -manu
