Remove repeat item from a list

archive
archive over 19 years ago

I have tried some way to remove some repeat item from a list.
Followed is the simple one

foreach(item list
list=cons(item remove(item list))
)

Do anyone have a more available command or fuction?

    You could try using the unique function

    For example, this will weed out all duplicate via names from a list:

    via_name_list = unique(sort( via_name_list 'alphalessp))


    A more-generic-but-trickier method involves using a foreach loop and the member funtion.
    Someting like:


    ulist = nil
    foreach( obj obj_list
    unless( member( obj ulist)
    ulist = cons( obj ulist)
    );end-unless
    );end-foreach
