Uniq command case sensitive

is there a way on HPUX11.00 to make the "uniq" command non case sensitive ?
i need to report repeated lines without taking care of case

Hi,

Try the following.

tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]" < your_file| sort |uniq -d

Hi Gayet,

You can translate the file to either all upper or all lower with tr as follows:

tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]" file2

(Reverse upper/lower order for the other converion)

Then run uniq against file2

HTH,
Jeff
