Remove duplicates of a ms word file
hi all ,
i've got a ms word file , which has a lot of emails included , there are duplicates of these emails , i want to remove these duplicates ,
so i thought of inserting these emails in a table i create with oracle forms builder , then select distinct emails from the table .
the problem is , i do not know the way to insert these emails in my table , sure i will not do it (one by one) , because they are a lot .
- if you could provide me with the way ?
thanks
Hi,
When I come across such situations i sometimes do this way, If its a one time job copy and paste in excel and filter there to get unique records.
After that create insert statements from the excel records and run this as a script.

Cross references from a word file
I've already read on this forum Indesign (CS6) has problems with cross references in Word files. (I mean dynamic references like "see page/paragraph/chapter x".) Whenever I see them, I just delete them in Word and update them manually in the final draft. (By the way, as a standard, I save Word files as Word 97-2003.)
The problem is (luckily, I should say), this Word feature is hardly used, so for the book I'm working on, I forgot to check.
I only noticed when I had worked for a full day on it in Indesign. The next day I could't open the Indesign file anymore. Well, **** happens, so I started anew. Next day, same problem, so I contacted the Adobe helpdesk; they couldn't reopen the file either.
Third try. Now I made copies before closing the document, first testing if I could reopen them. I already had guessed these cross references were the problem. They appeared as a tiny blue double dot in the text (a bit like the upper half of the marking for index codes). I couldn't find a way to search for them, so I searched the Word file for field codes and removed them manually in the Indesign file. All of them, I thought.
I closed it and reopened it a few times, no problem. No need to check anymore and first make a copy, I thought. I sent a pdf of the first draft to the author, processed his corrections, closed the document.
The next day I couldn't reopen it.
Now I'm not the kind of guy that gives in too easily, but before I start doing this book for the fourth time, I would like to be sure it will be the last time. So:
- Is there a way to reopen this InDesign file?
- Is there a way to search for these corrupted (?) reference codes in the Indesign file? (I still have a 80% ready copy of the Indesign file I can use.)
- Will removing all of these codes be the final solution,or should I remove the codes in the Word file and start completely anew? Of course that wouldn't make me very happy.Forum participants are not Adobe employees. We're users like you who volunteer to share what we know.
Thanks for the added details.

Thanks for your compliments, although they don't bring me any further.
The version is 8.0.1, I always update when I'm prompted to do so by the update centre. As far as I know it is an international version.
Still, I would guess the InDesign developers could tell me something about that ':' marker. I suppose the software didn't invent it itself. -
How do you remove duplicate images from your all images file on your mac desktop
How do you remove duplicate images from your all images file on your mac desktop?
Don't under any circumstances.
All images is not a file. It's not a place. It's a list. Specifically, it's the result of an instruction: List all the images on my machine.
When you delete something from All Images, then you have no idea what you're removing from where - files that are part of word processing docs, interface elements, corrupting your iPhoto Library. There are many perfectly legitimate reasons why you might have what appears to be duplicates but are not.
Rule number One: Never delete anything on your machine whose job you don't understand. -
Help needed in removing the duplicate nodes in an xml file
Hi Friends,
I need some help in removing the duplicates from a xml file using the Excel Spreadsheet. The xml Im using does not have any schema.
Can some one please let me know the steps.
Thanks a lot.Hi,
I got the answer.
Go to the developers Tab and click on export.
Select the column where we want to delete the duplicates and click on Remove Duplicates from Data Tab.
OR go to Home Tab> Conditional Formatting> High light Cell Rules> Duplicate Values. It will highlight all the duplicate values and then remove them manually.
Thanks. -

How to streamline and remove duplicate files on my HD before I backup?
is there a good program or freeware that can automate and isolate when I have
duplicate files hiding in the many folders on my Drive... Yes, in a perfect world
I should know better than having a Drive that is not perfectly organized
I think there is something called SpringCleaning for windows
is there something like this for Mac?

You should back up your drive with Time Machine before you delete any files in case you make a mistake.

If I use an app to remove duplicate pix does the app read content or only the file name such as IMG
If I use an app to remove duplicate pix does the app read content or only the file name such as IMG. I have some 2500 pix and the thought of trawling thru them toremove duplicates is mind numbing.
If the apps read the content then I am ok about that but if they only read the file name ... they maybe deleting stuff that isnt really a duplicateYou have to contact with the developer of the application. We do not know which app you are referring to and we do not know how that application works, but all apps of that type are supposed to delete duplicate files with the same format (like IMG, JPG...)

I now have iTunes ver 11.0.4.4 under Windows 7. I lost all iTunes stuff when updating to Windows 7. I have loaded thousands amd thousands of music files from backup disks, but there are many duplicates. I am attemping to re-establish my old library. I used to be able to remove duplicates quickly with the old iTunes. The new iTunes doesn't seem to offer the same service. Is there any way to remove duplicates quickly, or must I do it one by one?
When deduping use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

How can I identify and remove duplicate file (audio & photo)
How can I identify and remove duplicate file (audio & photo)? I have quite a few libraries created as backup files.
Terence,
Yes, the duplicates appear in the iPhoto window. I have folders with same name occuring two or even three times sometimes with exactly the same set of photos (ie photos with the same ID) and sometimes with a limited set of photos. Other folders appear only once.
I normally take my MacBook with me if I'm shooting a lot of photos, such as on holiday, and then want to transfer them to my iMac when i get home. Other times I transfer the camera's memory stick directly to my iMac.
I have great difficulty transferring the photos from my MacBook to my iMac. I don't want to store my photos on my iDisk due to the length of time it takes to upload them.
Thanks again.

Remove Duplicate Music Files, But Keep iTunes Copy
How can you remove duplicate copies of music files on your hard drive but be sure to keep the one iTunes is using and keeping the iTunes Library intact?
I have hundred of duplicate music files, using a tool like CleanGenius or others I can get a list of duplicate files, but I do not want to break iTunes Library and only want to remove the duplicates that are not being used in iTunes.I have the same issue. If I have a file in my music folder and then click on it and it opens in itunes it creates a duplicate file in my itunes library. Besides sorting in finder and deleting one by one based upon folder location is there a less mind numbing way to accomplish this task.
Or do I have to pay the $10 for a program like Gemini? -
How do I avoid importing MS Word file duplicates in Pages for Ipad 2?
How do I avoid importing MS Word file duplicates in Pages for Ipad 2?
Hi Cabrinii,
The sign on the door is a bit misleading, and you're not the first (or even the first in the last hour or so) to come to this Pages (Mac version) forum to ask a question about Pages for iOS.
Not many of us use iPad, so your question will be better served in the iWork for iOS community. The link will take you there.

Pages 2.0 is exporting Word files in name.docx format causing duplicates files on my PC via iTunes. Anyway to have it export name.doc files as Pages did earler?
What I read in the PDF version of the manual (while I was waiting for my plane this afternoon), it seems pretty comprehensive. I was particularly interested in what it had to say about creating your own templates.
Supposedly, it will remember if I left invisibles showing in templates (one of my big complaints with Pages 1). I'll find out soon enough. I must say that opening my two documents I use for answering posts here in discussions sure did open faster & navigating an 11-page table was much faster.
Another good thing I noticed, the font used for the serial number is much clearer & there were no confusing characters - O/0, S/5, etc.

Remove duplicates using flash and php in a .csv file
Hi all,
I am trying to have a frontend in flash that uploads data
from a csv file to a mysql database. A user selects the file to
upload, the user enters the number of columns in the csv file into
a input textbox in flash so that a databse can then be created
dynamically in the mysql database according to the column size and
then uploads the data. I am sure this is possible but i have tried
and searched in vain. Do you have any knowhow about this?
Much appreciated.No one answered so I did it on my own...will post it on my
server after configuring it for it. I tried it with a file size of
3 MBs and works fine. Considering that there are add-ins for excel
to remove duplicates, i think mine is fine as long as the
duplicates are in the first column...but that can be easily changed
huh...:) -
Removing Duplicate photos and other files from Backup HD
Hi I have a macbook air with USB and Thunderbolt ports. I connect them to a 200GB Maxtor external harddrive via USB
The HD seems to have created duplicates of many of my files. How can i remove the duplictaes from my HD?
Thanks - PeteTime Machine store backups of all data on your computer.
Changes to files are stored, so if required, you can revert to previous versions.
Once the disk fills with data, old backups are deleted to make room for the newer.
So Time Machine automatically manages the disk.
