SC: Formatlist "dedupe" of lists not in alphabetical order

[40k]

For example:

a|b|d|e|b|a does not dedupe "b" or "a".

As advertised in help:
"Removing duplicates only works on adjacent items, so if the list is not sorted non-adjacent duplicates remain in the list."

Oh.

Can someone please tell me what is wrong with this script? It sorts the list but doesn't remove duplicates. Cheers.

text formatlist(report("{basename} <crlf>"), sd);

help file - formatlist()

separator
Separates the items in the list; defaults to | (pipe).
If you pass "" (empty) the list is treated as a list of single characters.

Thanks highend, The 'pipe' separator works. But then how do I display the results as a list? Cheers.

?

What's wrong with:

Code: Select all

text formatlist(report("{basename}<crlf>"), "esd", "<crlf>");
