@Steven-Haymes

not exactly, you missed one duplicate line ;-)

@gurikbal-singh

it only works on consecutive lines, meaning
if you have something like

a
a
b
b
c
c

you get

a
b
c

BUT if there are other lines in between like empty lines or different lines
then it doesn’t do anything. It basically checks always the previous line with the current line and if those are the same it will delete the current line.
