Sed seems the best choice, then pipe output to sort -u.
This is split onto multiple lines so that comments can be added. There also might be an easier and/or cleaner way, but this does work.
If you're running on a BSD based system, then you might need to change the -r option to -E. Certainly -E is needed if you are using sed from AT&T's AST distribution.
This treats all tokens delimited by spaces/tabs that begin with an alpha character as a word. So something like Jul09 is also printed.
