How can I delete duplicates in an array, with exceptions?

I have an array which I would like to delete only the 2nd duplicate of a set in an array e.g:

    'B1(46)'
    'B13(201)'
    'B14(201)'
    'B14(201)' - delete 
    'B1(52)'
    'B2(52)'
    'B2(52)' - delete 
    'B5(124)'
    'B6(124)'
    'B6(124)' - delete 
    'B13(201)'
    'B14(201)'
    'B14(201)' - delete

My current script (below) will delete all duplicates of 'B14(201)', which is not what I want:

wd=event; % with duplicates

[~,idx]=unique(strcat(wd()),'stable');

newevent=wd(idx); %without duplicates

Thanks

A - your array:

[ii,ii,ii] = unique(A);
out = A([true;diff(ii)~=0]);

Thanks Andrei, but I get the following error:

     Error using vertcat
     Dimensions of matrices being concatenated are not consistent.

     Error in MADSCRIPT3 (line 79)
            out = A([true;diff(ii)~=0]);

Im not sure why...

Ok I added the following and get no error, although it does not appear to delete duplicates?

        A=strvcat(event)
        [ii,ii,ii] = unique(A);
        out = A([true;diff(ii)~=0]);

[Andrei Bobrov]

What is your array (A in my case)?

My solution work for case:

>> A = {'B1(46)'
    'B13(201)'
    'B14(201)'
    'B14(201)'
    'B1(52)'
    'B2(52)'
    'B2(52)'
    'B5(124)'
    'B6(124)'
    'B6(124)'
    'B13(201)'
    'B14(201)'
    'B14(201)'};

>> [ii,ii,ii] = unique(A);
out = A([true;diff(ii)~=0])
out = 
    'B1(46)'
    'B13(201)'
    'B14(201)'
    'B1(52)'
    'B2(52)'
    'B5(124)'
    'B6(124)'
    'B13(201)'
    'B14(201)'

Ok the 'event' or 'A' variable is a 1x169 cell array. The strvcat function turns it into a 169x8 char array...

With my variant of array - working?

This works now, thank you very much.
