Hi,

It's difficult for me to understand your problem. Let me explain it to check if I'm correct:

First of all you want to read file names of 'input.txt' without all characters until the first ')'.

The second part is less clear for me, for each file read of 'input.txt, go to '~/all_images/' and remove them?, or all_images is a plain text file and you want modify that file to remove entries also found in 'input.txt??

Thanks,

Regards,
Birei
