hi all - im looking for a simple command line app that can find duplicate entries within a text file, this is so i can create installer for our mods - so that we dont need to insert text into filelist.txt - if i could get a command line app which could find duplicate entries i could make an installer that could write /merge the data needed for filelist.txt

anyone know any software with command line?

The Lock On comunity is using one exe that does the adding of lines in some configs... wait a bit to search for it.

OK, I've checked.

Apparently it cannot find duplicates it only can add lines in files and sections of files.

It has an EXE and a config that tells it what to do.

This is how a config example looks:

config/graphics.cfgTextureCollectionsaddcommon = ".\\Bazar\\World\\walmisWeapons.cdds";-i
config/graphics.cfgTextureCollectionsremcommon = ".\\Bazar\\World\\walmisWeapons.cdds";-u

First line is for Install second for uninstall

It tells the exe:

go to file "config/graphics.cfg" (is a relative path, I don't know if its supports absolute paths like: C:\program files\Ubisoft... etc) and add "common = ".\\Bazar\\World\\walmisWeapons.cdds" " to the "TextureCollections" section.

The tool is not an official lock on tool but made by some modmaker from lock On comunity (Walmis I think) and it could know to do more than I know.

Want me to search more?

well i can do that anyway - i can add lines of txt into the filelist.txt but i cannot look for duplicate strings afterwards which i would very much like to do

its easy with dos to add lines of txt just by merging 2 files together
so if 1 file has the txt you want to add (add.txt) & the other is what you want to add to (filelist.txt)
you would do this

copy filelist.txtm + add.txt

this will merge the 2 files together

but we really need something to find duplicate entries :wink:

thx for help though
