I need some help removing first repeated line (for field 1) from a csv file.



I have a large csv file with a structure similar to this:



334050049049426,2018-11-06T20:21:56.591Z,xxx,gdl-qns28-1540279057144

I need to be able to remove the first line found of duplicated values from the first column so for example line # 1,3 and 6 needs to be remove.



any help is greatly appreciated.
