Sorry, I probably didn't make my question clear.

I have a file (proc.txt) which has a list of lines I want to remove from a file (draft). I can not hard code the lines in my shell script since each line in the proc.txt are different.
I believe I need a loop to check each line in proc.txt and remove the line from (draft) and copy them to a file.
So the input/output I am hoping to get is

Draft(before remove)
Author:
Date:
1 /vobs/aw/database/a.proc/
2 /vobs/aw/database2/b.proc/
3 /vobs/aw/database4/a.proc/
4 /vobs/aw/database4/b.proc/
5 /vobs/aw/database2/d.proc/
...etc

proc.txt
/vobs/aw/database2/b.proc/
/vobs/aw/database4/b.proc/
...etc

I hope to write a script to achieve the following:
draft(after remove)
Author:
Date:
1 /vobs/aw/database/a.proc/

3 /vobs/aw/database4/a.proc/

5 /vobs/aw/database2/d.proc/
...etc

proc.txt(no change)
/vobs/aw/database2/b.proc/
/vobs/aw/database4/b.proc/
...etc

output.txt(new file)
2 /vobs/aw/database2/b.proc/
4 /vobs/aw/database4/b.proc/

I hope I have made my question more clear.
Is it possible to use shell script to achieve this?

Thanks in advance for your help

DESCRIPTION

       This application will take some text on STDIN and give you a URL on STDOUT.

       You may also specify files as arguments, they will be concatenated together into one large nopaste.

OPTIONS

   -d, --desc
       The one line description of your paste. The default is usually the first few characters of your text.

   -n, --name
       Your nickname, usually displayed with the paste. Default: $NOPASTE_NICK then $USER.

   -l, --lang
       The language of the nopaste. The values accepted depend on the nopaste service.	There is no mapping done yet. Default: perl.

   -c, --chan
       The channel for the nopaste, not always relevant. Usually tied to a pastebot in that channel which will announce your paste.

   -s, --services

       "Shadowcat Gist").

       List available nopaste services.
