Problem: It's not easy to remove duplicates from a list.
Solution: Add the uniq() function. (LCD)
7. Sorting text *sorting*
Vim has a sorting function and a sorting command. The sorting function can be
-found here: |sort()|.
+found here: |sort()|, |uniq()|.
*:sor* *:sort*
:[range]sor[t][!] [i][u][r][n][x][o] [/{pattern}/]
Changing the order of items in a list: >
:call sort(list) " sort a list alphabetically
:call reverse(list) " reverse the order of items
+ :call uniq(sort(list)) " sort and remove duplicates
For loop ~
type( {name}) Number type of variable {name}
undofile( {name}) String undo file name for {name}
undotree() List undo file tree
+uniq( {list} [, {func} [, {dict}]])
+ List remove adjacent duplicates from a list
values( {dict}) List values in {dict}
virtcol( {expr}) Number screen column of cursor or mark
visualmode( [expr]) String last visual mode used
sort({list} [, {func} [, {dict}]]) *sort()* *E702*
- Sort the items in {list} in-place. Returns {list}. If you
- want a list to remain unmodified make a copy first: >
+ Sort the items in {list} in-place. Returns {list}.
+
+ If you want a list to remain unmodified make a copy first: >
:let sortedlist = sort(copy(mylist))
< Uses the string representation of each item to sort on.
Numbers sort after Strings, |Lists| after Numbers.
For sorting text in the current buffer use |:sort|.
+
When {func} is given and it is one then case is ignored.
- {dict} is for functions with the "dict" attribute. It will be
- used to set the local variable "self". |Dictionary-function|
When {func} is a |Funcref| or a function name, this function
is called to compare items. The function is invoked with two
items as argument and must return zero if they are equal, 1 or
bigger if the first one sorts after the second one, -1 or
smaller if the first one sorts before the second one.
+
+ {dict} is for functions with the "dict" attribute. It will be
+ used to set the local variable "self". |Dictionary-function|
+
+ Also see |uniq()|.
+
Example: >
func MyCompare(i1, i2)
return a:i1 == a:i2 ? 0 : a:i1 > a:i2 ? 1 : -1
blocks. Each item may again have an "alt"
item.
+uniq({list} [, {func} [, {dict}]]) *uniq()* *E882*
+ Remove second and succeeding copies of repeated adjacent
+ {list} items in-place. Returns {list}. If you want a list
+ to remain unmodified make a copy first: >
+ :let newlist = uniq(copy(mylist))
+< The default compare function uses the string representation of
+ each item. For the use of {func} and {dict} see |sort()|.
+
values({dict}) *values()*
Return a |List| with all the values of {dict}. The |List| is
in arbitrary order.
|tagfiles()| List with tags file names
|taglist()| get list of matching tags (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
|tr()| translate characters (Ron Aaron)
+|uniq()| remove copies of repeated adjacent list items
|values()| get List of Dictionary values
|winnr()| takes an argument: what window to use
|winrestview()| restore the view of the current window
