• Description: DeDup is a Java command-line utilty for removing duplicate
  lines in text files.
  
  The dedup process compares adjacent lines only. It does not
  sort first. The comparison is case sensitive. It removes
  adjacent indentical lines. It replaces the original file, so
  do a backup first. You can dedup 1 to N files in one
  execution, just put their names on the command line.
  
  DeDup deletes blank lines from both the beginning and end of
  the file. It also deletes trailing blanks from each line. It
  also cleans up line terminators r n rn and converts them
  all to platform standard. If the file is already deduped,
  it does not change the date.
  
  Use it with:
  
  java com.mindprod.dedup.DeDup myfile.txt anotherfile.txt yetanotherfile.txt
  
  or
  
  java -jar dedup.jar myfile.txt anotherfile.txt yetanotherfile.txt
  
  or, if you have the jar association set up, even even
  
  dedup.jar myfile.txt anotherfile.txt yetanotherfile.txt
  
  It can handle a list of files, or an os-expanded wildcard.
  It does not -s to process subdirectories or the use of
  directory names to process entire directories.
