How to merge 2 hosts files

[Bhuvan]

Hello to you all,
I searched in vain for how to merge text files - hosts in my case - for there are double lines ...
Is there a software that allows multiple reconnet lines and delete them?

All responses are welcome
Thank you!

Thank you and good evening!

I would try this:

- get both host files on the same system. Call them host1 and host2

- merge them like this:

cat host1> tmphost
cat host2>> tmphost

- visually verify the merge:

pg tmphost

- filter the merged file:

cat tmphost|sort|uniq >tmp2host

- visually verify the new file:

pg tmp2host

Now it should be a simple job of removing any remaining duplicates using vi. When done you can copy the file to /etc/hosts and HUP the appropriate services or reboot.
