Extracting records with unique fields from a fixed width txt file
Greetings,
I would like to extract records from a fixed width text file that have unique field elements.
Data is structured like this:
John A Smith NY
Mary C Jones WA
Adam J Clark PA
Mary Jones WA
Fieldname / start-end position
Firstname 1-10
MI 11-12
Lastname 13-23
State 24-25
I want to compare firstname and lastname fields exclusively and output the unique records to a new file:
John A Smith NY
Adam J Clark PA
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
