I need help with deleting specific lines

JulienSchulz2000

How can I delete all the duplicate lines with the same person (person/“id”) in there.
Having duplicate pictures (like SpanMed1418) is not a problem.
I just cant figure it out.
Many thanks in advance.

This sounds like a search and replace using regex problem.
Defining a bit better the problem (for ex, duplicate sounds like “identical” to me) and showing what have you tried, where you got stuck - will make it more likely - though not certain - you’ll get some help.

Just to make things clear
This is the before data:
<record from=“Central European/Central European2769” to=“graphics/pictures/person/2002301095/portrait”/>
<record from=“SpanMed/SpanMed3162” to=“graphics/pictures/person/2002426795/portrait”/>
<record from=“South American/South American909” to=“graphics/pictures/person/2002312612/portrait”/>
<record from=“SpanMed/SpanMed1418” to=“graphics/pictures/person/2002426795/portrait”/>
<record from=“SpanMed/SpanMed1418” to=“graphics/pictures/person/2002605289/portrait”/>
<record from=“African/African1904” to=“graphics/pictures/person/2002426795/portrait”/>
<record from=“Central European/Central European12880” to=“graphics/pictures/person/2002587993/portrait”/>

And this is what you want the after data to be:
<record from=“Central European/Central European2769” to=“graphics/pictures/person/2002301095/portrait”/>
<record from=“South American/South American909” to=“graphics/pictures/person/2002312612/portrait”/>
<record from=“SpanMed/SpanMed1418” to=“graphics/pictures/person/2002605289/portrait”/>
<record from=“Central European/Central European12880” to=“graphics/pictures/person/2002587993/portrait”/>
