I have a txt file called elements.txt that contains content similar to this: ---------- C:\TEMP\1000604\SAMPLEALBUM\1000604\LAST\LAST.PCK PIC_FRAME_NAME = fr_3d - beveled 01 - large landscape
---------- C:\TEMP\1000604\SAMPLEALBUM\1000604\PAGE_1\PAGE_1.PCK PIC_FRAME_NAME = fr_3d - beveled 01 - small portrait PIC_FRAME_NAME = fr_3d - beveled 01 - small portrait
I need to delete all lines starting with "-----" and all duplicate lines... so that I end up with a file looking something like this: PIC_FRAME_NAME = fr_3d - beveled 01 - large landscape PIC_FRAME_NAME = fr_3d - beveled 01 - small portrait
If I could do it in the batch file that runs all my other stuff it would be helpful. & I want to output the result to a different txt file (outfile.txt)

If Not InStr(strLine,"--------") >0 Then
If Not d.Exists(strLine) Then
d.Add strLine , 0
End If
End If
Loop
x=d.Items
For Each strKey In d.keys
WScript.Echo strKey
