If you had several tab delimited data files with 1000 records in each and
one of the data fields held a particular number that may repeat several
times and you wanted to reduce the 1000 records down to just one record each
by that particular number, how would you do it. A visual sample follows.
Of course I've indicated the tabs with "\t"
Bob\t10\tJuly, 4
Ted\t10\tJuly, 4
Carol\t09\tJuly, 4
Alice\t09\tJuly, 4
John\t09\tJuly, 4
Jane\t02\tJuly, 4
Fred\t02\tJuly, 4
Jim\t01\tJuly, 4
I want the above to result in:
Bob\t10\tJuly, 4
Carol\t09\tJuly, 4
Jane\t02\tJuly, 4
Jim\t01\tJuly, 4
TIA
Rick Norman
