Re: save only duplicate lines

Tim, thank you for the ideas.
I had forgotten about marking and deleting.

This is what I have working.
Using :%s is more than twice as fast as :g
Also no need for the :sort iu at the end.

function! KeepOneDup()
let start = reltime()
sort i
%s/\(^.\+\n\)\1\+/@\1/ " mark and remove all but one dup
v/^@/d " delete un-marked
%s/^@// " remove mark
echo reltimestr(reltime(start))
endfun " :call KeepOneDup()<cr>

Bill
