I have a file which contains 2k jar names, most of them are repeated jar names. So i would like to keep the first occurance and delete the duplicate occurances of any jar. There are 2, 3 or 4 occurances of same jar names as well.
Is there a way we can construct Regex to achive the above goal?
Thanks in advance.
CodePudding user response：
A regex solution could be to run this search replace combo multiple times:
Search
(^.*$)([\s\S]*)\1[\r\n]*
(^.*$)- capture a line, any line, I don't care; into capture group #1([\s\S]*)- capture everything else into capture group #2\1[\r\n]*- find duplicate data which we captured in capture group #1 and any newlines after it
Replace
$1$2
$1- keep the original data line$2- keep the data leading up to the duplicated data
The duplicated data is simply not retained.
If you're open to a software solution then it's quite trivial with Notepad .
Edit -> Line Operations -> Remove Duplicate Lines
