You may have come across situations where you need to identify duplicate lines contained in a text file. I recently had to do this within a large CSV data extract file.

The ‘dotnet ef’ CLI command enables developers to work with Entity Framework Core (EF Core) database operations from the standard dotnet command line.
Recently I came across the below error whilst trying to run the ‘dotnet ef’ CLI commands:
