Hi,

I am having almost the same problem as junior member 'oupsforum' (refer to subjuct "deleting double entry in a log file"), only that I am using Sun Sorlaris Unix which the uniq command does not has the flag -w. So I am not able to ignore certain portion of the line when the uniq doing the comparison.

Is any one here farmiliar with Sun Unix, so that he/she can a give me a little help.

Thanks a lot,
Vincent

Uniq is not working for me case because the double entry is not excact duplicate of each other, only the ending parts are duplicated.

Any other suggestion ......

Thanks
