Hi,

I would like to find in genre duplicate words and merge them together.

This is an example of genre tag:

Before

```
AFRICA; AFRICA; NATURAL WORLD; NATURE STUDY; NATURE; DRAMA ADVENTURE; DRAMA WORLD; PERCUSSION; INSTRUMENTS SOLO PERCUSSION; WILDLIFE MOVEMENT; DRAMA ADVENTURE; AFRICA; FILM STYLES ANCIENT ROME; AFRICA

```

After

```
AFRICA; NATURAL WORLD; NATURE STUDY; NATURE; DRAMA WORLD; PERCUSSION; INSTRUMENTS SOLO PERCUSSION; WILDLIFE MOVEMENT; DRAMA ADVENTURE; FILM STYLES ANCIENT ROME

```

; is the separator here  
[A-Z]\*; I think will match every entry for this songs genre

AFRICA is for instance 4 times repeated and I would like to merge them into 1 time  
DRAMA ADVENTURE is twice repeated

Is there a way to do this?

Kind regards  
Guy Forssman
