Hi Corona, thank you for your effort. As in your example what this did was to create a list of <ID> 0000000</ID> removing all other tags, but still with duplicates.

I thought of sorting and use uniq to get the duplicate IDs from this list, then delete them from the original file (not the list). However this does not resolve the problem that some elements have comments that extent to new lines and those lines do not get removed

eg

Code:
 
<ID> 000000<COMMENT> TEXT
TEXT
TEXT
TEXT </COMMENT></ID>

will only delete the first line

So again I am looking for a way to look for xml tags <ID></ID> and if whats between them already exists in the file delete it.

---------- Post updated at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous update was at 09:29 AM ----------

I can see this is rather complicated... an other way I could do this is by providing the list of duplicate ID's, search the file for them and delete them. I already know the duplicate IDs from a sys out, so I can place them in a text file as a list.However I have two issues

First, how do I delete all but one?
and second how do I define where to start deleting and where to stop?

drop_text_search_dictionary

DROP TEXT SEARCH 
DICTIONARY(7)					   SQL Commands 				    DROP TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY(7)

NAME

       DROP TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY - remove a text search dictionary

SYNOPSIS

       DROP TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY [ IF EXISTS ] name [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]

DESCRIPTION

       DROP TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY drops an existing text search dictionary. To execute this command you must be the owner of the dictionary.

PARAMETERS

       IF EXISTS
	      Do not throw an error if the text search dictionary does not exist.  A notice is issued in this case.

       name   The name (optionally schema-qualified) of an existing text search dictionary.

       CASCADE
	      Automatically drop objects that depend on the text search dictionary.

       RESTRICT
	      Refuse to drop the text search dictionary if any objects depend on it.  This is the default.

EXAMPLES

       Remove the text search dictionary english:

       DROP TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY english;

       This  command  will not succeed if there are any existing text search configurations that use the dictionary. Add CASCADE to drop such con-
       figurations along with the dictionary.

COMPATIBILITY

       There is no DROP TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY statement in the SQL standard.
