Filtering the repeated text in array

ozgurp has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear All, I have an array with repeated text values like:

@Array = ("LL-F-NO-999-197",
          "LL-F-NO-999-191",
          "LL-F-NO-999-198",
          "LL-F-NO-999-191",
          "LL-F-NO-999-197",
          "LL-F-NO-999-198")
[download]

and I want to filter repeated text values, and after filtering:

@Array = ("LL-F-NO-999-191",
          "LL-F-NO-999-197",
          "LL-F-NO-999-198")
[download]

I was wondering if you could suggest an elegant way of filtering the repeated text. Thanks.

This is a frequently asked question - which makes it easy for us to answer: Just look here in the perlfaq (chapter 4). note: in case you want to find a solution on your own, use the following hint (also taken from the FAQ): Use a hash. When you think the words "unique" or "duplicated", think "hash keys". HTH, Rata	[reply]

It's also in perlfaq4 (U: perldoc -q duplicate ), complete with examples.	[reply]
