Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Deleting duplicated chunks in a file using awk/sed Post 302974138 by jypark22 on Thursday 26th of May 2016 12:56:50 AM

First of all, I am sorry about my bad attitude.

I tried 'uniq' that only show uniq strings first, but don't know how to show uniq chunks. It only works for lines. And then I tried sed.
Code:
sed -r 's/(dp_ctl_synd_out_low\[[0-9]\])(.+)(\1)/\1 \2 -/g' input.txt

So now I could find the duplicated one and replaced with "-", but failed to remove the chunk.

If my post is not appropriate, I will remove it soon.

Best,

Jaeyoung

NAME
uniq - report or omit repeated lines SYNOPSIS
uniq [OPTION]... [INPUT [OUTPUT]] DESCRIPTION
Filter adjacent matching lines from INPUT (or standard input), writing to OUTPUT (or standard output). With no options, matching lines are merged to the first occurrence. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. -c, --count prefix lines by the number of occurrences -d, --repeated only print duplicate lines -D, --all-repeated[=delimit-method] print all duplicate lines delimit-method={none(default),prepend,separate} Delimiting is done with blank lines -f, --skip-fields=N avoid comparing the first N fields -i, --ignore-case ignore differences in case when comparing -s, --skip-chars=N avoid comparing the first N characters -u, --unique only print unique lines -z, --zero-terminated end lines with 0 byte, not newline -w, --check-chars=N compare no more than N characters in lines --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit A field is a run of blanks (usually spaces and/or TABs), then non-blank characters. Fields are skipped before chars. Note: 'uniq' does not detect repeated lines unless they are adjacent. You may want to sort the input first, or use `sort -u' without `uniq'. Also, comparisons honor the rules specified by `LC_COLLATE'. AUTHOR
