UltraEdit/UltraCompare question.....
I know how to sort the following text file using specific columns, however, I need your help in deleting entire records anytime matches are found when examining specified columns (columns 1-11 in example). For example, after some unknown procedure is complete, I would like to just have the one record (Kelly Smith) left.
