As eluded by @luishp, Reinier Maliepaard (@reinier) authored an elegant method for VisualNEOWin developers to extract a string of unique characters in a specified string.

I am all for elegance (less code) ... so I took his code and turned it into a VisualNEOWin Function ... so you can achieve the same result with just one (Call) command like so ...

SetVar "[str]" "aaxaabbeedxgg"

Call "rmRemoveDuplicates" "[str]" "[uniques]"

AlertBox "uniques" "[uniques]"

I named it rmRemoveDuplicates to give credit for the original script to Reinier.

I have attached a .zip file that contains the Function file ... just unzip it into the Functions folder of VisualNEOWin (note that the Function file has no file extension).

If others can test/validate this code, I can then ask Luis to include it in the next release of VisualNEOWin.
