assuming your input is sorted based on the first column...

nawk -f ray.awk myInputFile

ray.awk:
Code:
# if the value in the first column ($1) does not equal the value stored in "prevIDX"
# and we are not at the FIRST record (FNR != 1) [FNR = RecordNumber in the current File]- print the value of "prev"
$1 != prevIDX && FNR != 1 { print prev}

# assign the value of the FIRST field ($1) to a variable "prevIDX"
# assign the entire record/line to the variable "prev"
{ prevIDX=$1; prev=$0 }

# after ALL the records/lines were processed - print the value of the variable "prev" 
# the last/dangling record/line
END { print prev }

       The numbers 0-9 are chosen to correspond to the numeric keypad on your terminal.  Cdk does not handle the application mode  keypad  control
       sequences, since those are not defined via terminfo.  To use the numeric keypad you should ensure that it is in normal (or NumLock) mode.
