Create a text file called TOONS.TXT with the following data:
Daffy Duck
Daffy Duck
Daisy Duck
Fred Flintstone
Mighty Mouse
Minnie Mouse
Porky Pig
Yosemite Sam

Write a program to find and display those names in the TOONS.TXT file that are repeated. Assume that the file has already been sorted into alphabetical order. When a name is found to be repeated, display it only once.

Having trouble writing this program, can anyone help?

@Stats, you will definitely have to show some more effort. What code do you have so far? The question looks like it has been copied directly from a homework task. We WILL help, if you show some effort.

Sorry, new to the fourm
This is what I have:

Dim name As String = " "
    Dim sr As IO.StreamReader = IO.File.OpenText("toons.txt")
    Do While (name <> txtName.Text) And (sr.Peek <> -1)
      name = sr.ReadLine
    Loop
    If (name = txtName.Text) Then
      txtNotify.Text = "Name located: " & " " & name
    Else
      txtNotify.Text = "Sorry - the name not located."
    End If
    sr.Close()
  End Sub
