remove duplicate value in array

[sivaramanm]

hello monks,

I have a array, which values are duplicated once in the same array. I need to remove the second occurence value. I have tried as below, but not getting result. Pls help me to solve this

Thanks

Siva

@content = split(/ /, $content);
            @Original = @content;
            
            for ($i=0; $i<=$#content; $i++)
            {
                for ($j=0; $j<$i; $j++)
                {
                    print "$j\n";
                     if ($content[$i] == $content[$j])
                     {
                         $Original[$i] = "";
                     }
                }
            }
                
            print "@processing";

another way is to use List::MoreUtils.

use List::MoreUtils qw/uniq/;
my @uniq_array = uniq @array;

You could use a hash as this will ensure that your keys are unique, or you could searching for "array" and "duplicate". That gives plenty of results.

[Fletch]

When you want distinct values think hash.

my %seen;
@content = grep !($seen{$_}++), split( / /, $content );

[VSarkiss]

Fletch and Nevtlathiel have it above. Just in case the code sample is too dense, here's a little "looser" version that does the same thing:

my %seen;
$seen{$_}++ for @content;
my @unique = keys %seen;

So %seen is the hash that gets a key for each unique value in @content, and @unique is an array containing those (unique) keys.

And of course, the nice thing about this particular solution is you can still tell if there were any duplicate keys ... in such cases, the value of $seen{$key} will be greater than 1.

[ikegami]

It doesn't do quite the same thing. Fletch's solution preserves order. Yours does not.

HTH,

@content = qw(1 2 3 1 2 4 2 5 4 3);
print "arr  @content\n";

for ($i=0; $i<=$#content; $i++)
{
        my $count = 0;

        for ($j=$i+1; $j<$#content+1; $j++)
       {


        if ($content[$i] == $content[$j])
                {
                           $count++;


                   }



        if ($content[$i] == $content[$j] && $count == 1)
         {

 $content[$j] = "";
         }
   }

 }
  print "@content";

# Remove duplicated array members
# For example if you have an array @D=qw(1 2 1 3 1 4 1 5)
# It will return an array [1 2 3 4 5]
# Usage @Clean=nonDuplicatedArray(@D);
sub nonDuplicatedArray  #(@DuplicatedArray)
{

    my @Duplicated=@_;
    my %seen=();
    my (@NonDuplicatedArray,@Unique);

    @Unique = grep {! $seen{$_}++} @Duplicated;
    @NonDuplicatedArray = sort(@Unique);

return @NonDuplicatedArray;
}

or

@ARR2 =('p1','p2','p3','p1','p2','p1');
@unique = grep { ++$count{$_} < 2 }   @ARR2;
