Function: list ListUnique(list lAll);
Given a list of elements, strips out any duplicates in that list, and returns the de-duped list.
See also: Lists
list ListUnique( list lAll ) {
integer i;
list lFiltered = llList2List(lAll, 0, 0);
integer iAll = llGetListLength( lAll );
for (i = 1; i < iAll; ++i) {
if ( llListFindList(lFiltered, llList2List(lAll, i, i) ) == -1 ) {
lFiltered += llList2List(lAll, i, i);
}
}
return lFiltered;
}
Example:
list mylist = ListUnique(["A", "A", "B", "C", "C", "B"])
would return the list:
["A", "B", "C"]

A *possibly* faster replacement (at least in my experiments in removing duplicate Agent UUIDs from multiple scanners on a sim):
list nvStripDupes(list DupedList)
{
integer pos;
list Element;
while (llGetListLength(DupedList) != 0)
{
Element = llList2List(DupedList, 0, 0);
NoDupes += Element;
pos = llListFindList(DupedList, Element);
while ( pos != -1)
{
DupedList = llDeleteSubList(DupedList, pos, pos);
pos = llListFindList(DupedList, Element);
}
}
return NoDupes;
}
