title: Removing duplicate rows from Notepad++
body: <p>I am looking for a way to remove duplicate rows from my Notepad++ file. The rows are not exact duplicates per say. Here's the situation. I have a large file of capitalized company names with probability values as well (each separated by a tab). So the format would be like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ATT   .7213
  SAMSUNG   .01294
  SAMSUNG   .90222
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So, I need to remove one of these rows because there is a match in the first column. I don't really have a preference of which one I need to remove just as long as I end up with one row at the end. I have tried to use unique sorting with TextFX but it's looking for the whole row duplicate and not just the first column. If anyone could offer up a handy solution to fix this I would greatly appreciate it. Bash script answers using awk, sed, or cut are also acceptable as well as using regular expressions.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
