Once done, sorting w/ the "Sort outputs only UNIQUE (AT COLUMN) lines" function worked fine & removed duplicate lines. I used notepad's (or TextFx's - either one) function to "trim trailing spaces (and / or leading ). I finally figured out that differences of trailing blank spaces, on otherwise identical text lines, kept the function from recognizing the lines were identical.

Selecting the data to be sorted / find & remove duplicate lines, then Checking in TextFX>Tools>"Sort outputs only UNIQUE (at columns) line"ĭidn't work on a simple file. Many suggested 1st adding line #s w/ TextFX, though I did NOT find it necessary - at least w/ later versions. Read many suggestions on forum about finding / deleting duplicate (text) lines in a file. This is an old post, but my finding may be helpful to others.
