( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
In general terms, the usual way to remove duplicates (which is what you're trying to do for a certain definition of duplicates) is to read sequentially your input data records and to store the values of interest (in your example the GN "TUFA" value) that you've already seen in a hash (as a hash key). Then, if the GN value has already been seen, just don't consider the entry. Else write it to output.

For example, something along these lines (untested):

my %seen; while (my $line = <$IN>) { my $gn = $1 if $line =~ / GN=(\w+) /; next if exists $seen{$1}; $seen{$1} = 1; print $line; }
That's just the general idea. Details may vary according to the circumstances.

Otherwise, if that doesn't help, I agree with 1nickt: please show the code that you have, it will be much easier to help you.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
