Is there a reason why just using the command line tool isn't workable for you? Personally, I'm happy when I can just do something quick like that. Also you can simplify your command with sort filename | uniq. -rory On May 6, 2011, at 9:45 AM, Roman Valls wrote:
Hey galaxy users,
Thats a fairly good question from one of my colleagues. I've looked through the menus (mainly "Text Manipulation" and "Filter and Sort"(Select)), googled (on the mailing list archives too), but couldn't find an answer: How should I remove duplicates on plain text files without resorting to:
"echo file|sort|uniq" before uploading the file/text.
or
Putting a regexp together to replace the duplicate occurences as in:

I'm pretty sure I'm missing some really basic stuff here... is this basic operation something supposed to be done outside galaxy perhaps ?
Thanks in advance !
