Answer 1

You can also use the Group-Object cmdlet to see if any lines occur more than once:

e.g.

Get-Content test.txt | Group-Object | Where-Object { $_.Count -gt 1 } | Select -ExpandProperty Name

Answer 2

Used the Commands mentioned below and it worked.

PS C:\Projects> $OriginalContent, $UniqueContent = (Get-Content .\File.txt), (Get-Content .\File.txt | Sort-object -unique)
PS C:\Projects> compare-object $originalcontent $uniquecontent

or to print the text and the count use the following command

PS C:\Projects> Get-Content .\File.txt | group-object
