Deleting duplicate values from a collection?

...or better way of doing this.

i'm using regexes search html file tags using

        public static string threadposterspattern          {                           {                  return "<span class=\"postername\">(.*)(?=</span>)";              }          }

           matchcollection posterlist = regex.matches(filecontents, threadposterspattern, regexoptions.multiline);             foreach (match x in posterlist)             {
               //this cleans extraneous sub-tags results                 var y = new regex("<.*?>").replace(x.value, string.empty);                 console.writeline(y);             }

now, want remove duplicate entries posterlist , turn whole list 1 delineated string {eventually} insert sqlite database. apparently there's distinct(){?} method along lines, i'm not sure how reach point.
