Situation: I have a log file with many fields and lines. Each line has say
a computername field. The same computername will be listed several times
thoughout the file. What if I wanted a list of computer names from the file?
meaning 1 instance of each name returned from a command?

example: A log file has 2 fields. ComputerName and DLLVersion. I want to
construct a command or batch file that will return a unique list of computer
names that do not have a DLLVersion equal to 4.1.002. Just using the find
command gets me close but its not a unique list. The same computer names
will be listed multiple times.

any input is appreciated. Thanks.
