Hi,

Yes it appears to work with your xml document but not
with the one I have.I thought my doc may be corrupt
in some way so I tested it against another. So for example if I take a new
document
that has five elements, (see below) and change the target character id's to
say
100, 100, 200, 200, 500, my output should be 100,200,500

but the output generated is

1. 200 2. 200 3. 500

So it misses the first element and still doesnt remove the duplicate
for some very strange reason.
