Yet another stupidity!

For keyword analysis we have to check thousands of keyphrases and it is a boring job to find and delete the duplicate entries. To make life easier I decided to program a small utility that can remove duplicate entires.

The important things I wanted to see in the utility was :

1. File driven, so that we can input an excel/text and then we could get the data in some other format.
2. Should remove unwanted spaces
3. Should output in CSV.

Finally in couple of hours the program was done.

Everything was feeling well untill one of my staff noticed there was a better tool in the editor we daily use.

:(

It was really simple, just insert the text, click the button to remove duplicates you are done. If I had known about this feature, I would have never tried to program. :(

Anyway, after about an year, I just touched the Delphi IDE. That was the only benefit I had from this experiment. :)

    Yep, JC it was really simple. I never thought it was that much easy.

    You know I don’t like programming. ;-)
