If so, show it to us and provide and example of the very initial input file you have, before any formatting.

When you state :

"I need to remove the duplicate row"

Do you means that 2 same consecutive lines should :
a) appear only once ?
or
b) should not appear at all ?
The answer is b, needs to appear only once in the output. The formatting of the input file is pretty far back in the tool chain and I don't see much value in redoing that part. It is just as easy to add a new col. The string in $1 is the index anyway.
