Hi!

Is there a way to find & mark duplicate lines in a document?

I know there is a Sort (F9) command. However, I don't want to delete the lines.

You could try fooling around with something like this in WildEdit using regular expression:
Find \n(.+)\n(.*\n)?\1
Replace \n$1\n$2\nX$1
Where X marks the line.
See the post by BenjiSmith. Pls note that I have not tested this my self. HTH

Is there a way to do it in TextPad?
