UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

i have a txt file of image names that have to be deleted in pwd how can i use the txt file to delete the files in pwd and is it possible?--i might be able to import the txt files into a spreadsheet ahd same it as a csv file. i want it to be done recursive lly --what i mean is teh sysem goes thru each txt file--finds it and then deletes it

i am an advance newbee in unix--which i love!!!!!!

so what is in the text file? can you put a sample here.
but you should be able to read the file in and then use the value
added to the pwd output to rm the file(s).

here is what my text file looks like

Code:

mary.jpg
joh.jpg
sdfks,jpg
sdfkmom.jpg

what i want to do is use this list to delete these files from my pwd
something like this i believe i want to do
xargs rm < my_input file .txt
i assume what would happen is the utility (xargs) would take 1 line at a time from my_input.txt
find the file in pwd and if found delete it
then take the next line in my_inputfile.txt and do the same and so on
