Small batch file wrapper around PowerShell to uniquely sort file based content
Posted by jpluimers on 2021/05/19
From my batch file library; note this PowerShell wrapper does not support stdin, but that is OK for me.
For Windows 10 and up, sort /unique works too and supports stdin.
:: note: does not work on stdin, unliqke sort which does support standard input :: http://secretgeek.net/ps_duplicates PowerShell Get-Content %1 ^| Sort-Object ^| Get-Unique :: note that for Windoww 10 and up, there is a sort /unique switch, but Windows versions below it do not. :: https://superuser.com/questions/1316317/is-there-a-windows-equivalent-to-the-unix-uniq
