Hi Peter and Roman,

The "Count" tool under "Statistics" section provides uniq-like functionality. If you run this tool by selecting all columns under "Count occurrences of values in column(s)" field, your output will contain one line per record, with the 1st column containing the number of occurrences of each record. 

Hope this answers your question.
Thanks for using Galaxy,
Guru.

That's a timely question - I was also looking for something within Galaxy
to take a text file and remove duplicate lines.
