Keeping the title of a text report
I am in need of keeping a title of a report and removing duplicates from a file like the one below. I will be using the `uniq –u` command for the removal of duplicate lines (let me know if there is a better way rather than the command `uniq`) but I need to keep the title (first 9 lines) of the file. The file will be changing as we receive this raw data, but there will always be a title on each report. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

File example:
-----------------------------------------------
Code:
            Well Data Export
Project             :  RAW_DATA_EXTRACT
Cartographic System :  USA_TM20 N2
Depth Mode          :  E_20T
Depth Unit          :  International meters
Distance Unit       :  meters
Format File         :  TD_Curve_Ext.wlx
