So the story of this tool is pretty straightforward, but worth mentioning, as this is the first tool I wrote by myself, without Matt’s “mentoring” that is. So if this tool is crap it’s all my fault, but anyway it’s my first baby and I am ready to take the criticism on the chin. Anyway, a bit of history just for the sake consistency. When I came across the problem of having a long list of keywords with many duplications, I realised that I would need a tool to get rid of them, so took to the “writing board”. The tool took me literally 20 minutes to write. Yes, you could argue that I could have used Excel to remove the duplications. True, but I have to say at that time I was already addicted to trying to solve every single problem, including my difficult relations with my wife, using Ruby. The Duplication Remover tool is so simple it is almost self-explanatory. However, this is how it works:

Step 1 Take the list of keywords from which you wish to remove eventual duplications and paste it to the tool.
