I'm trying to do some text file manipulation, and it's driving me nuts. I've got a sorted file of SMTP addresses, and want to eliminate the lines that are the same up to a space character within the line. Example: kurt.buff@gmail.com NO kurt.buff@gmail.com OK The above lines *both* need to be eliminated from output - I don't want the first or second of them, I want them both gone. I've looked at sort and uniq, and I've googled a fair bit but can't seem to find anything that would do this. I don't have the perl skills, though that would be ideal. Any help out there? Kurt
