BCP Question.

Am using bcp to upload data files to sql server. The data file contains some
duplicate values. So I used something like ">bcp pubs.dbo.stores in
"stores.txt" -m 50..." assuming, the bcp stops only after encountering more
than 50 duplicate. But BCP stops whenever it encounters the first duplicate
value!!
How to continue with BCP, ignoring the duplicate values?
Thanks.
I think it would be best to bcp into a staging table and then do an insert
with a not in subquery keying off the pk.
