the remove list are variables.For example:
remove_list='_12345_ '
- this line should be removed in the old_list.txt
home/user/..../20110414/XXX_12345_20110414.txt,50.4......

Use in-place editing instead:

Code:

remoremove_list='_12345_ _54321_ _2468_ _abcde_'
cp old_list updated_list
for delete in $remove_list ;  do   
     sed -i "/$delete/d" updated_list
   done

Its working if I use "sed -e" instead of "sed -i"
One additional question...how can I use also the remove list to delete the corresponding files...
Something like that

Code:

cd $directory
for i in HLF_TF_*.txt
do 
   rm $remove_list
done

THANKS VERY MUCH FOR THE HELP
