ghostdog,
I used rm to remove those files so thats why I have it in there. I forgot to remove it when I posted that file here. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks!
botao,
Thanks! I will try that next time I get request like this instead of using rm with one file at a time.
reborg,
Could you please elaborate on your command line? As I understood from post that I can simply get all the files names in one file with txt extension and then execute the following?
xargs -i rm {} < list
Thanks! for the help everyone. I really appreciate your help.
