If I understand you correctly, you want to keep only the first four unique lines?

Code:
awk '++A[$0] < 5' file

Aha, I see. Well that takes a little bit more work. Stand by! And you're welcome Smilie

So - lines repeated up to three times should be printed as are - once, twice, or thrice. Then, lines repeated four or more times should be printed once?

lines repeated up to 4 times should be printed as once
