However some of the duplicates have different information. I am trying to figure out what the best way is to merge the information so I just have one contact with all of the information. &lt;span id="mce_2_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id="mce_0_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span id="mce_1_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span id="mce_2_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;I am wondering if it might be easier to export contacts to excel and then try to import them so that it updates all the entries and then delete the duplicates or if I should try and do it all inside of method. Would love some help on this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id="mce_0_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span id="mce_1_start" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Thanks!&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
