JavaScript

removeDuplicateLines.content.programming.javascript

// Remove duplicates preserving order
const uniqueLines = [...new Set(lines)];

// Case-insensitive with order preservation
const seen = new Set();
const unique = lines.filter(line => {
  const key = line.toLowerCase();
  if (seen.has(key)) return false;
  seen.add(key);
  return true;
});

Python

removeDuplicateLines.content.programming.python

# Remove duplicates preserving order
unique_lines = list(dict.fromkeys(lines))

# Case-insensitive with order preservation
seen = set()
unique = []
for line in lines:
    key = line.lower()
    if key not in seen:
        seen.add(key)
        unique.append(line)

# For large files (line by line)
with open('input.txt', 'r') as f:
    seen = set()
    for line in f:
        key = line.rstrip().lower()
        if key not in seen:
            seen.add(key)
            print(line, end='')

Java

removeDuplicateLines.content.programming.java

// Using LinkedHashSet to preserve order
LinkedHashSet<String> uniqueLines = new LinkedHashSet<>(lines);
List<String> result = new ArrayList<>(uniqueLines);

// Using Stream API
List<String> unique = lines.stream()
    .distinct()
    .collect(Collectors.toList());

C#

removeDuplicateLines.content.programming.csharp

// Using LINQ Distinct
var uniqueLines = lines.Distinct().ToList();

// Preserving order with HashSet
var seen = new HashSet<string>();
var unique = lines.Where(line => seen.Add(line)).ToList();

Command-Line Tools

removeDuplicateLines.content.programming.commandLine

# Remove adjacent duplicates
uniq file.txt

# Remove all duplicates (requires sorting)
sort file.txt | uniq

# Case-insensitive removal
sort -f file.txt | uniq -i

# Using awk for complex logic
awk '!seen[$0]++' file.txt
