another question about finding duplicates

Folks,
a really stupid way that also solves if the dupes are not adjacent:
put fld "my stuff" into tSourceData
put empty into tDestinyData
repeat for each line tEntry in tSourceData
if tEntry is in tDestinyData then next repeat
put tEntry & cr after tDestinyData
end repeat
This will process each line, putting them into another variable, if
the line is already there it will move to the next line. It might be
faster than Klaus approach since it is one loop only and less
commands. It may be better than the previous code with arrays because
your data can contain tabs with no problem without breaking some split
command.
Anyway, just my two Brazilian Real Cents (which are really cute but not worth)
