Your description and code are not clear enough to be sure that this is what you want, but it works with the sample data provided:
Clearly field #2 is not the key to determining duplicate records, it is at least field #2 when and only when field #1 is "D". And, since you are storing the entire line into the a[] array for some reason, maybe you only want to delete identical lines instead of deleting lines with identical keys???
The above code assumes you just want to delete lines with identical keys where the key is the combination of field #1 being "D" and field #2 being unique. The second field in the line with field #1 being "T" is written with whatever was in field #2 changed to the number of lines with field #1 being "D" and field #2 being unique that have been seen before the line that has field #1 being "T". All lines that do not have field #1 being "D" or "T" are copied to the output without being counted.
You should always tell us what operating system and shell you're using when you start a new thread in this forum. The behavior of many utilities varies from operating system to operating system and the features provided by shells vary from shell to shell.
If you want to try the above code on a Solaris/SunOS system, change awk to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or nawk.
thanks Don Cragun.
the result is exactly I want.
sorry, I didn't explain my request more detail. you are right. actually, the whole line is identical if field #2 is identical.
My OS is Solaris/SunOS. I will put my OS infor next time.
Thank you again.
