Duplicates

Hi,

How to eliminate the duplicate values in unix? I have a excel file which contains duplicate values.

Need to use this in a script.

Thanks in advance.

Basically there is the uniq command. Post an excerpt of your input files inside [code] and [/code] tags with an explanation please.

Thanks a lot for the reply.

One more query:
---------------

I need to attach a prefix to the unique values and single quotes at the beginning and the end and a comma after that so as to use in the sql query in the where condition.

Unique values:
--------------

12
13
14
15

Desired output:
---------------

'xx.12','xx.13','xx.14','xx.15'

I need to read the above desired values in the where condition of the sql query.
