just in case you use python script plugin,
the script like this would do the job

lines = editor.getText().splitlines()
editor.setText('\r\n'.join([x for x in lines if lines.count(x) == 1]))

@Claudia-Frank

how can use it ?

@محمد-أشرف

you need to have python script plugin installed, which, unfortunately, is
currently only available as 32bit version.
If this is the case with your setup, then just use Plugins->PythonScript->New script,
give it a meaningful name and copy the script into it, save it.
Select your document and goto Plugins->Python Script->Scripts and click on your script.

Done.

I’m sorry but I do not have experience in that

so clean.py is the script with my code, correct?
If so, open your file which needs to be “cleaned” and then
click on clean under Plugins->Python Script->Scripts

Or did I miss something?

step by step (assuming python script plugin is already installed)

Goto Plugins->Python Script->New script

give it the name clean2.py and save it

copy the code in the newly created document

and save it

open the document with the data to “clean”

and goto Plugins->Python Script->Scripts and click on clean2

Results in something like

Hello, @محمد-أشرف, and All

Sorry, @claudia-frank, I hope you’re not going to have a heart attack, but a simple regex can get it, straightaway ;-))

@محمد أشرف, as your text already contains a sorted list of lines, you can easily get the job done, with a simple regex S/R ! So :

Open the replace dialog ( Ctrl + H )
Type in the regex (?-s)^(.+\R)\1+ , in the Find what: zone
Leave the Replace with: zone EMPTY
Tick the Wrap around option
Select the Regular expression search mode
Finally, click on the Replace All button

Et voilà !

Of course, this simple method works ONLY IF the lines are previously sorted :-)

In this other post, below, you asked me about my Facebook account coordinates

I cannot, as I do not have, presently, any Facebook, Twitter or other social network account :-(( And I suppose I never will !

However, if you don’t mind, you can send me an e-mail, for a specific problem, at :

no heart attack yet - still listening into me :-D

But, I give you a second chance as it looks like it doesn’t work correctly with the
provided sample data

Hi, @محمد-أشرف, @claudia-frank and All

Ah, yes ! I forgot to tell that the last item of the list ( so the last 555 line , in your example) must be followed by a line-break !

Everything should be OK !
