I need a portable app that can locate and remove duplicate entries in a text file. I did a search but could only find apps to locate duplicate files, not duplicate entries in a text file. I wish it was a feature that Notepad++ could handle but it seems it does not. Any help would be appreciated!

possibly with help from sort if the file is unordered.
You can get a windows port of them (though they are command line tools) at http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/coreutils.htm
WinMerge lets you compare two text files and show differences or similarities.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I use Win Merge for file comparison, it works great for that. I need something that will compare entries within a single text file, to find and delete duplicate entries.
I found a program that will remove duplicate entries within a text file. It is called PSPad. It works fast too, and I think it is open source.
It's closed source.
