Hi, I have a file that I would like to read in then do the following:
- Read in each line and remove any duplicate text with tags - Sort the file so all tag IDs are in sequential order - Save the results to a different file name. Can this be done easily? If so, how? I'm really a newbie at this stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ed Below is a sample of my input file and what I want the output file to look like. Input: <tag id=1>Data 1</tag> <tag id=2>Data 2</tag> <tag id=3>Data 3</tag> <tag id=4>Data 4</tag> <tag id=2>Data 2</tag> <tag id=5>Data 5</tag> <tag id=13>Data 13</tag> <tag id=6>Data 6</tag> <tag id=7>Data 7</tag> <tag id=8>Data 8</tag> <tag id=9>Data 9</tag> <tag id=13>Data 13</tag> <tag id=10>Data 10</tag> <tag id=11>Data 11</tag> <tag id=12>Data 12</tag> <tag id=14>Data 14</tag> <tag id=15>Data 15</tag> <tag id=16>Data 16</tag> <tag id=17>Data 17</tag> Output: <tag id=1>Data 1</tag> <tag id=2>Data 2</tag> <tag id=3>Data 3</tag> <tag id=4>Data 4</tag> <tag id=5>Data 5</tag> <tag id=6>Data 6</tag> <tag id=7>Data 7</tag> <tag id=8>Data 8</tag> <tag id=9>Data 9</tag> <tag id=10>Data 10</tag> <tag id=11>Data 11</tag> <tag id=12>Data 12</tag> <tag id=13>Data 13</tag> <tag id=14>Data 14</tag> <tag id=15>Data 15</tag> <tag id=16>Data 16</tag> <tag id=17>Data 17</tag> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
