Sort problem!
Hi,

I have a file having content:
Code:
123
123
1234
12131
121
23
1212
1212121
23421
1212
1213123

I want to remove the repeated lines from it, i.e. I just want the any number just one time without any sorting in it.
The problem is that I am not getting result from 'uniq' command.
as output it coming:
Code:
1234
12131
121
23
1212
1212121
23421
1212
1213123

Can anybody help.
