hey guys,

I'm trying to clean up a massive list with SB but when i attempt to remove duplicates it says the version only supports ansi text files...

How can i get around this????
 
Split it up maybe into 1mil each, then paste them right into notepad then copy them from notepad into scrapebox.

By pasting them into notepad it turns it into te most basic txt automatically then copying it to SB should work.

hmmm I suppose theres no way around that eh... I did plan to split the file but only after the dupes were removed from the master list.
 
try this...

http://www.scrapebox.com/free-dupe-remove

works with files above 1 Million entries.
 
Hey Keith you can PM me the file. I'll split it for you for free.
 
One of scrapebox's free addons is an ansi converter. Try running it through there to see if stops the error from coming up.
 
Able to handle massive files??

Using Excel 2013, my experience is that doing duplicate removal with the data tool was quick even with 200K rows, but running any macro would hit a known barrier at 32767 rows.
 
There's this little program called Linux which comes with every imaginable text processing tool ever deviced. Then run this

Code:
cat bigfile.txt | sort | uniq > newfile.txt

BTW you can get this stuff for Windows. Search for cygwin
 
Sort the file by name, split it into parts of 1 million each.
Remove duplicates from each file by importing it in scrapebox harvestor. Then again merge the records within single files and again remove the duplicates.
Will need some manual work.


Otherwise, if you have a database, just create a table with one column, insert everything in that table and then remove the duplicates.
