rm -i and deleting files from an index table
Hi, I am trying to make a command to delete my files out the trash can, but one at a time.
I am currently using rm - i to do this, but the original file locations for restoring my files are heard on a .txt file which I am using as an index table.
How would I manage to make it so that if I remove a file using rm - i, the original path location is removed from my FileLocations.txt file aswell?
I so far have tried using ls dustbin > dustbin.txt to have a copy of the files in a textfile that still exist, and then I was going to try compare the files and remove the lines that did contain any of the file names in my dustbin.txt file.
The problem is I don't really know how to do this, hope you can help, thanks.

::ini::commentchar ?char?
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This package provides an interface for easy manipulation of Windows INI files.
::ini::open file ?access?
Opens an INI file and returns a handle that is used by other commands. access is the same as the first form (non POSIX) of the open
command, with the exception that mode a is not supported. The default mode is r+.
::ini::close ini
Close the specified handle. If any changes were made and not written by commit they are lost.
::ini::commit ini
Writes the file and all changes to disk. The sections are written in arbitrary order. The keys in a section are written in alphabet-
ical order. If the ini was opened in read only mode an error will be thrown.
::ini::revert ini
Rolls all changes made to the inifile object back to the last committed state.
::ini::filename ini
Returns the name of the file the ini object is associated with.
::ini::sections ini
Returns a list of all the names of the existing sections in the file handle specified.
::ini::keys ini section
Returns a list of all they key names in the section and file specified.
::ini::get ini section
Returns a list of key value pairs that exist in the section and file specified.
::ini::exists ini section ?key?
Returns a boolean value indicating the existance of the specified section as a whole or the specified key within that section.
::ini::value ini section key ?default?
Returns the value of the named key and section. If specified, the default value will be returned if the key does not exist. If the
key does not exist and no default is specified an error will be thrown.
::ini::set ini section key value
Sets the value of the key in the specified section. If the section does not exist then a new one is created.
::ini::delete ini section ?key?
Removes the key or the entire section and all its keys. A section is not automatically deleted when it has no remaining keys.
::ini::comment ini section ?key? ?text?
Reads and modifies comments for sections and keys. To write a section comment use an empty string for the key. To remove all com-
ments use an empty string for text. text may consist of a list of lines or one single line. Any embedded newlines in text are prop-
erly handled. Comments may be written to nonexistant sections or keys and will not return an error. Reading a comment from a nonex-
istant section or key will return an empty string.
::ini::commentchar ?char?
Reads and sets the comment character. Lines that begin with this character are treated as comments. When comments are written out
each line is preceded by this character. The default is ;.
