    Alphabetic, non-repetitive list

    I'm trying to produce a alphabetic, non-repetitive list of all System service calls in all c files located in a folder. Here's what I got so far.

    grep -ow '[A-Za-z]*SYS[$][A-Za-z]*' *.c | sort

    Which produces all system service calls in alphabetic order I just need to find out how to make it non-repetitive.

    Try "sort -u". The "-u" flag eliminates duplicate lines as well as sorting the list alphabetically.
