SORTS ANY FILE ALPHABETICALLY AND REMOVES DUPLICATES

A CGI Script that you can use to sort and organize ANY text file database.  Use it to cleanup email lists, URL lists, addressbooks, absolutely any text file can be quickly sorted into alphabetical order and all duplicates removed.  Great tool to use with the whois parser so you don’t waste time querying whois over and over for the same domain name.  Also a great tool to sort through address books and lists of URLS if you are building a search engine.   Works great for flatfile search engines such as matchmasters (not pro version) where you can quickly delete all of the duplicate submissions made from people hitting the submit button multiple times.  A great tool for any webmaster.
