[R] unique columns of a matrix

[Roman Akhter Ahmed]

Dear all,

I have a matrix of repeating columns in R, for example a matrix X is

          [,1]   [,2]   [,3]   [,4]
[1,]       1      1      1      1
[2,]       1      1      2      2

I want to store unique columns of the matrix X in a new matrix Y. 
Therefore, Y will be

          [,1]   [,2]  
[1,]       1      1    
[2,]       1      2

It will be really appreciated if you can provide me some function for 
this job.
Thanks for your time and effort in advance,
Roman
