Extracting unique IDs from a file 2

[630111]

I have a text file with the following:

Andy
Bill
Brian
Jessica
Michelle
Judy
Julie
Larry
Luke
Bill
Brian

I want to extract only one occurance of each name, no matter how many times it appears in the file. How would I go about this?

Thanks!

Try something like this:
sort -u /path/to/inputfile
If you want to keep original order:
awk '++a[$0]==1' /path/to/inputfile

Hope This Help, PH.
