====== BASH - Files - Delete duplicate lines from a file ======

<code bash>
#! /bin/sh

echo -n "Enter Filename-> "
read filename
if [ -f "$filename" ]; then
sort $filename | uniq | tee sorted.txt
else
echo "No $filename in $pwd...try again"
fi

exit 0
</code>

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:**  The above script goes line by line through your file and removes any duplicate line.

It then places the new content into a new file and keeps the original file intact.
