This function ignores the case of the lines while comparing. The line that is included in the result has the same case as the first line that’s compared.
Example
Set Field [ result ; TrText_UniqueLines ( "-Unused" ; theText ) ]Say text field “theText” consists of the following lines:
this is a line
this is another line
These are the same
THESE are the same
Then result will be:
this is a line
this is another line
These are the same
Example 2

12345
34567
12345
12345
34567
The result of UniqueLines will be:
