How to Delete Duplicate Tags?

Post by snowman999 »

Hi,

I have the following text I am trying to massage where I want to remove the duplicate tags, but of course keep the first occurrence.

Here is an example of the starting text:

TTITLE01=Burning Love
TTITLE02=Way Down
TTITLE03=A Little Less Conversation (JXL Radio Edit Remix) (Bonus Trac
TTITLE03=k)
EXTD=ELVIS PRESLEY - ELV1S 30 #1 Hits\n\n(2002)\n\n-- liner notes --\n
EXTD=\n(front cover)\n\nThe front cover consists entirely of a gold-to
EXTD=ne background with the word "ELV1S" \nspanning roughly 80 percent
EXTD= of the width of the cover, centered horizontally and \nverticall
EXTD=y on the page.
EXTT0=1. Heartbreak Hotel (2:10)\n\n(Written by Axton/Durden/Presley

EXTT0=uary 10, 1956\nU.S.

EXTT2=3. Hound Dog (2:16)\n\n(Written by Leiber/Stoller)\nPublished

And I want the text below but when I try and use the wildcards/perl expression they are too "greedy" and end up removing all the tags after the first one. Any ideas?
Thanks
Lewis

Sometimes this is easy, sometimes not so much. The first and foremost rule of SEO is to make sure each of your unique pages has a unique title tag. That’s because the first and foremost rule of Google (or at least sometimes it seems that way) is to avoid the dreaded “duplicate content” monster.

Now the purpose of this SEO tip is not to show you what a title tag is, or how to manipulate it. I’ll leave that to other pages that are already online. (At the bottom of this post is a link to one that you might find of interest.)

Instead of covering the basics of title tags right here, I want to point you to an easy way to determine where to look for duplicate tags in your site. The best tool I know of, and it’s free, is of course Google Webmaster Tools.

Sorry... this is not a web site with tags.

This is one file of over a million files of the same format.

I need to edit the files to remove the duplicate tags in each file.

Can you advise on the correct filter/pearl expression to do this?

Thanks
