Hi poj, thank you for the quick response, I tried the script and could not get the duplicate rows, the outcome came up with zero rows. below is the script i tried 

open IN,'<','/home/scripts/imageoutcome.txt' or die "Could not open $i
+nfile : $!";
my %count  = ();
my @lines  = ();
while (<IN>){
  push @lines,$_;
#  print $_;
  if (/^(\S+)/){
    ++$count{$1};
  }
}
close IN;

open OUT,'>','/home/scripts/outcome.txt' or die "Could not open $outfi
+le : $!";
#print @lines;
for (@lines){
  if (/^(\S+)/){
   print $count{$1};
   print OUT $_ if $count{$1} > 0;
  }
}
close OUT;
