Golly I should be able to handle this simple task but I'm failing.
I have a long list that has a lot of dupes. I needs to be narrowed to
unique items. I've tried to ways to attack this.
Method A: Works, but I end up with a column of results that I can't
coerce back into a list.
repeat with x in finals
set end of finals to x & ", "
end repeat
set finals to (do shell script "echo " & (quoted form of (finals as
string) & " | " & "sort -u"))
Method B: Doesn't work at all.
set finals to {1, 5, 5, 5, 6, 66, 999}
set juz to {}
repeat with x in finals
if x is not in juz then set end of juz to x
end repeat
contents of juz
