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!
R.Joseph
