Hello monks!
I have an array like the following: ID ORGANISM NUMBER protein1 organism1 0.843534 protein2 organism2 2.45 protein3 organism3 9.5322 protein4 organism4 0.3475474 protein1 organism6 9.4534 protein2 organism7 0.43534 protein2 organism8 1.2434 protein3 organism9 0.000003 protein3 orgnanism10 1.23325The elements in the array are split with tabs. What I want to do is make a unique array that will hold only protein1, protein2, protein3 and protein4 and, if a protein is found more than once, I will hold the one that has the smallest number. The desired output is, for the above example: protein1 organism1 0.843534 protein2 organism7 0.43534 protein3 organism9 0.000003 protein4 organism4 0.3475474I tried searching the manual, but I have the problem of how to check the numbers and compare them in order to decide which number to keep for each protein... Thank you for any help! In reply to create unique array by Anonymous Monk
