    Smile How to remove semi-duplicated text

    Hello!

    I got txt document with info like that:


    <NOTE PlayerId="mes5107" ColourIx="2" Text="asdasdasd" />
    <NOTE PlayerId="Dreaming 4uvak" ColourIx="5" Text="possibleDUB" />
    <NOTE PlayerId="monezza12" ColourIx="12" Text="" />
    <NOTE PlayerId="Dreaming 4uvak" ColourIx="4" Text="random text" />
    ...

    I would like to remove second line because that name(palyerID) is used multiple times.

    and the first one(second from that example list) from this list because it has Text="possibleDUB".


    How can I do this?

    Im very grateful for any answer.

    You could use text to columns delimited by the "=" sign.

    You could then use an Advanced Filter to copy unique entries to a new location.

    Please post a sample workbook if you want a more detailed response.
