It's not clear exactly what you want to do, but I'll take a crack at it:

     === snip ===

#!/bin/sh

keyword=whatever

infile=/path/to/file
outfile=/path/to/file


uniq -u $infile | grep -v "${keyword}" > $outfile

     === snip ===

Of course, you could do this as a one-liner, too.  

Hey perl gurus, how would you do a "uniq" in perl?
