I need a special print
I have this:

Code:
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(74)
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(74)\05-04-2009(74)_0-999
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(74)_left
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(74)_left\05-04-2009(74)
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(74)_right
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(74)_right\05-04-2009(74)
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(75)
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(75)\05-04-2009(75)_0-999
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(75)_left
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(75)_left\05-04-2009(75)
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(75)_right
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(75)_right\05-04-2009(75)

I want to print this:

Code:
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(74)
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(75)

I can
Code:
awk "/\)$/{print}"

but I would get this:

Code:
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(74)
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(74)_left\05-04-2009(74)
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(74)_right\05-04-2009(74)
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(75)
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(75)_left\05-04-2009(75)
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(75)_right\05-04-2009(75)

But I really want to print this:

Code:
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(74)
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(75)

Thanks,
Kenny.

\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(75)
or
#  sed 's/\([^)]*)\).*/\1/' infile | sort | uniq
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(74)
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(75)
or
#  nawk -F")" '!x[$1]++' infile
\2009_may\05-04-2009\05-04-2009(74)
