# anew
Append lines from stdin to a file, but only if they don't already appear in the file.
Outputs new lines to `stdout` too, making it a bit like a `tee -a` that removes duplicates.
## Usage Example
Here, a file called `things.txt` contains a list of numbers. `newthings.txt` contains a second
list of numbers, some of which appear in `things.txt` and some of which do not. `anew` is used
to append the latter to `things.txt`.
```
▶ cat things.txt
Zero
One
Two
▶ cat newthings.txt
One
Two
Three
Four
▶ cat newthings.txt | anew things.txt
Three
Four
▶ cat things.txt
Zero
One
Two
Three
Four
```
Note that the new lines added to `things.txt` are also sent to `stdout`, this allows for them to
be redirected to another file:
```
▶ cat newthings.txt | anew things.txt > added-lines.txt
▶ cat added-lines.txt
Three
Four
```
## Flags
- To view the output in stdout, but not append to the file, use the dry-run option `-d`.
- To append to the file, but not print anything to stdout, use quiet mode `-q`.
## Install

```
