I know that this is a stupid question, but I seriously cannot seem to figure this out. I have some data that look like the data below (actually, this is the real data):
<code>
Brentwood
Brentwood
Westwood
Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills
Bev Hills Adj.
Palms
Mar Vista
Mar Vista
Mar Vista
Mar Vista
Mar Vista
Venice
Santa Monica
Santa Monica
LA/Crescent
LA/Crescent
Koreatown
3rd/LaBrea
3rd/LaBrea
3rd/LaBrea

Now, as you can see, it isn't much. What I am trying to do - and this is probably really simple, but for the life of me I can't figure it out - is to take all the duplicate fields and end up with an array that has just one copy of each piece of data, so that the array is just: Brentwood, Westwood, Beverly Hills...you get the idead |
So, as you can see, my problem is not a large one, and for the enlightened minds of the monestary, probably a very simple one. However, I have been pulling my hair out trying to get it to work.
Thanks so Much!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
