See Unique (indices) method similar to MATLAB — for example, if you have a matrix a
and you want the rows corresponding to whether columns 1 and 2 are unique, you could do:
julia> a = [ "Kalinka" "surname"
"Kalinka" "surname"
"Kalinka" "surname"
"Kalinka" "geographical_name"
"Kalinka" "geographical_name"
"Kalinka" "geographical_name"
"Kalinka" "geographical_name"
"Kalinko" "surname"
"Kalinko" "surname"
"Kalinka" "name"
"Kalinka" "name"];
julia> idx = unique(i -> (a[i,1], a[i,2]), axes(a, 1))
4-element Vector{Int64}:
1
4
8
10
julia> a[idx,:] # rows where (col1, col2) are unique
4×2 Matrix{String}:
"Kalinka" "surname"
"Kalinka" "geographical_name"
"Kalinko" "surname"
"Kalinka" "name"
