Hi
I have a for loop which is reading in values of the form Letter-Letter-Number e.g. AB1, BX6, WF2 etc
So lets say my loop runs for 10 iterations, and reads in the following -
AB1
BX6
WF2
CB7
EZ6
WY2
AB1
AB1
WF2
ET9

Now as you can see from the above - I have AB1 3 times, and WF2 2 times. I'm only interested in each unique value. Therefore how would I go about storing the values above in a unique manner, such as -
AB1
BX6
WF2
CB7
EZ6
WY2
ET9

I need to store these values in some kind of array, so I can output the unque values to a file, one the for loop has completed. If I didn't need unque value, I would simply pass them to the file as the loop executes.
THanks for your help.
