Searching

[Brent113]

I have two text files with 10's of thousands of lines in it. If any two are the same, they need to be deleted. To compare them, I need a really, really fast search. any ideas?

Could you import them into a database and use a select distinct - possibly using the results as a subquery on a DELETE query?
