There are sure to be more elegant ways but you could just rebuild the list
skipping the duplicates as you go
# tList1 contains original list
put cr into tList2
repeat for each line x in tList1
if tList2 contains cr&x&cr then # ensures you check whole not partial lines
# do nothing
I have a field with about a thousand lines with many duplicate lines, and I
want to delete the duplicates. Seems like this should be simple but I am
running around in circles. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks,
Roger

Ok, that straightened out my confusion.
Thanks!

So what did it filter? It’s the same string I started with.
Exactly. You want matchtext, not filter.
There is a way to finesse this if you really need to use filter:
local tSubString, tTarget, tLargeTextString
local tResult

Your source was only one line. The default for filter is to work by line. It
returns all lines that match, hence the same string you started with.

Unless you use "filter x without y".

I have to thank everyone who helped me figure out my Boggle game. I've put the current file on
Google Drive for anyone who wants to take a look. The scripts are open and I think I've removed
all the testing cruft that accumulated over the last couple of weeks.
I'd be interested in any feedback

Hi Mark,
matchText works fine.
That doesn’t explain why “filter” doesn’t work though.
Yes. It does. Filter won't give you a substring.
You can use filter to get the whole line of text, but you'll still have
to dig out the substring if
Filter removes non-matching lines.

Good Morning!
I’m trying to get filter to work with some text and so far no success at all.
Given large string: abcdefghijkTHISISMYTEXTTOFINDlmnopqrstuvwxyz
I want the text between THIS and FIND which could be anything like ISLJFKKDKLS
Try:
put "*THISISMYTEXTTOFIND*" into tTarget
put “abcdefghijkTHISISMYTEXTTOFINDlmnopqrstuvwxyz” into tLargeTextString
put tLargeTextString into pText
filter pText with tTarget into tFilteredTextResult
answer "tFilteredTextResult = " & tFilteredTextResult
Or more simply:
filter tLargeTextString

Hello Peter,
Off the top of my head, I think there is a related read-only property
("loadState") but this is for the iOS mobile player. So you can get the
value of this property using the mobileControlGet command, and start the
video playback accordingly. However, if I remember correctly, your app
