<Array>.DeleteDuplicate (Function) In french: <Tableau>.SupprimeDoublon Deletes the duplicates from an array. The following arrays can be handled: - One-dimensional array of simple elements.
- Two-dimensional array of simple elements. Duplicates are deleted according to the value of one or more columns.
- One-dimensional array of classes or structures. Duplicates are deleted according to the value of one or more members.
- One-dimensional array by providing a comparison procedure.
arrMyArray is array of int = [ 1, 2, 3, 1, 4, 5, 2, 6 ]
// arrMyArray contains [ 1, 2, 3, 1, 4, 5, 2, 6 ]
arrMyArray.DeleteDuplicate()
// arrMyArray contains [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ]
// Use with an array of structures
StACategory is Structure
CODE_CATEGORY is string(5)
CATEGORY is string(300)
END
arrTheCategories is array of StACategory
// Code for filling the array
...
// Delete the duplicates
arrTheCategories.DeleteDuplicate(asMember, "CODE_CATEGORY;CATEGORY")
Syntax
Deleting the duplicates from a one-dimensional array of simple elements Hide the details
<WLanguage array>.DeleteDuplicate([<Deletion options>])
<WLanguage array>: Array Name of the Array variable to use. This array must be a one-dimensional array. This array can also correspond to an array of simple elements of an advanced variable ("Group" array in the gglContact variables for example). <Deletion options>: Optional integer constant Deletion options corresponding to one or more constants: | | | tccIgnoreAccent | Delete duplicates ignoring accents.
This option is useful for arrays of strings.
| | tccIgnoreCase | Delete duplicates ignoring case.
This option is useful for the arrays of character strings. | | tccIgnoreInsideSpace | Delete duplicates ignoring spaces inside strings.
This option is useful for the arrays of character strings. | | tccIgnorePonctuationAndSpace | Delete duplicates ignoring spaces and punctuation.
This option is useful for arrays of strings.
| | tccIgnoreSpace | Delete duplicates ignoring the spaces at the beginning and at the end of strings.
This option is useful for the arrays of character strings. |
Deleting duplicates from a two-dimensional array of simple elements according to one or more columns Hide the details
<WLanguage array>.DeleteDuplicate(<asColumn> , <Column>)
<WLanguage array>: Array Name of the Array variable to use. This array must be a two-dimensional array.This array can also correspond to a two-dimensional array of an advanced type (for example, deleting duplicates from an xlsDocument variable according to the column value). <asColumn>: Constant asColumn: Constant used to handle a two-dimensional array of simple elements according to several columns.The asColumn constant can be combined with one or more options for deletion: | | | tccIgnoreAccent | Delete duplicates ignoring accents.
This option is applied to all the columns according to which the deletion of duplicates is performed.
This option is useful for arrays of strings.

This option is applied to all the columns according to which the deletion of duplicates is performed.
This option is useful for the arrays of character strings. |
<Column>: Integer or character string - If a single column must be taken into account, subscript of the column that must be taken into account for the deletion of duplicates.
- If several columns must be taken into account, list of columns that must be taken into account for the deletion of duplicates. The different columns must be separated by a semicolon.
Deleting the duplicates from a one-dimensional array of classes, structures or advanced types Hide the details
<WLanguage array>.DeleteDuplicate(<asMember> , <Members>)
<WLanguage array>: Array Name of the Array variable to use. This array must be a one-dimensional array. This array can be an array of classes, structures or advanced types. <asMember>: Constant asMember: Constant used to handle a one-dimensional array of classes, structures or advanced types.The asMember constant can be combined with one or more options for deletion: | | | tccIgnoreAccent | Delete duplicates ignoring accents.
This option is applied to all the members according to which the deletion of duplicates is performed.
This option is useful for the "character string" members.
| | tccIgnoreCase | Delete duplicates ignoring case.
This option is applied to all the members according to which the deletion of duplicates is performed.
This option is useful for the "character string" members. | | tccIgnoreInsideSpace | Delete duplicates ignoring spaces inside strings.
This option is applied to all the members according to which the deletion of duplicates is performed.
This option is useful for the "character string" members. | | tccIgnorePonctuationAndSpace | Delete duplicates ignoring spaces and punctuation.
This option is applied to all the members according to which the deletion of duplicates is performed.
This option is useful for the "character string" members.
| | tccIgnoreSpace | Delete duplicates ignoring the spaces at the beginning and at the end of strings.
This option is applied to all the members according to which the deletion of duplicates is performed.
This option is useful for the "character string" members. |
<Members>: Character string Name of members used. If the deletion of duplicates is performed according to the value of several members, their names must be separated by semicolons.
Deleting duplicates in a one-dimensional array with a comparison procedure Hide the details
<WLanguage array>.DeleteDuplicate(<asFunction> , <Custom WLanguage procedure>)
<WLanguage array>: Array Name of the Array variable to use. This array must be a one-dimensional array. This array can be an array of advanced types. <asFunction>: Constant asFunction: Constant used to handle a one-dimensional array with a sort procedure. <Custom WLanguage procedure>: Character string WLanguage procedure in the following format:
PROCEDURE <Procedure name>(<Element1>, <Element2>)
This procedure is automatically called by the deletion mechanism to compare the elements between themselves, two by two. - If the element 1 must be found before the element 2 in the sort order, the procedure must return -1.
- If the element 1 must be found after the element 2 in the sort order, the procedure must return 1.
- If element 1 and element 2 are identical, the procedure must return 0.
Remarks - This function is not available for the fixed arrays.
- This function can be used on the arrays of advanced variables.
- Dynamic array of variants: Only a custom deletion (with a WLanguage procedure) can be used.
