I'm trying to remove duplicate lines from a file. File format goes something like this:
Name1
Name2
Name2
Name3
Name3
Name3
Name3
Name4
Name4
I want to output the following to another file:
Name1
Name2
Name3
Name4
This's what I have but although it removes duplicates up to Name3, it outputs Name4 multiple times. Any ideas as to what i'm doing wrong?
while ($line = <FILENAME>) {
chomp $line;
{
$uniquelines{$line}=1;
}
foreach $k (keys %uniquelines) {
print NEWFILE "$k\n";
}
Thanks!
