merging similar lines
Greetings, I have been trying to merge the following lines:
Code:
Sat. May 9 8:00 PM
Sat. May 9 8:00 PM CW
Sat. May 9 8:00 PM CW Cursed
Sat. May 9 9:00 PM
Sat. May 9 9:00 PM CW
Sat. May 9 9:00 PM CW Sanctuary
Sat. May 16 8:00 PM
Sat. May 16 8:00 PM CW
Sat. May 16 8:00 PM CW Sanctuary
Sat. May 16 9:00 PM
Sat. May 16 9:00 PM CW
Sat. May 16 9:00 PM CW Fever
Sat. May 16 9:00 PM CW Fever #1.21
however when i run the following:
Code:
uniq -u -i -f6
I still get this:
Code:
Sat. May 9 8:00 PM CW Cursed
Sat. May 9 9:00 PM CW Sanctuary
Sat. May 16 8:00 PM CW Sanctuary
Sat. May 16 9:00 PM CW Fever
Sat. May 16 9:00 PM CW Fever #1.21
why doesn't the second and third (the sanctuary lines) merge?

Also -- is there a way to do this with a perl script with the added requirement that if there is something like #1.21 then it keeps that line over the one that does not have it?

thanks!!
