Although Outlook 2010 allows users to import contacts from numerous email services, it doesn’t provide an option to automatically detect and remove duplicate entries. For this reason, if you’ve imported contacts from multiple accounts, then you must’ve been dealing with a lot of duplicate contact entries. Since it’s practically quite tedious to select each duplicate entry, and then delete it from Outlook Address Book, we recommend using Remove Duplicate Contacts for this very purpose. It’s small add-in for MS Outlook that automates the process of deleting duplicate contacts from specified Outlook native and configured email accounts’ folders.

Consider yourself in a situation where you are writing a code and you want line by line comparison of two different versions of files to check duplication. Would you open both the files side by side and check each line of code? Duplicate Line Finder is an application made for comparing and identifying duplicates in two text based files. The application is backed by two duplicate identification methods; by Word and by Line. You can either set it to find the duplicate lines in provided files or choose to find and strip only duplicate words. It offers some complementary duplicate finding options to create different versions of both files, such as, Strip Internal Duplicates, Build Excluded Versions, and Build Join Versions. The two file versions (with duplicates included and duplicates excluded) will help you compare both processed text files side by side. Moreover, it has the ability to join both types (text file with duplicates and text file without duplicates) of text file versions, separately. Read More
