The “Delete files or directories” selection should prompt for a list of files or directories to be deleted. The script asks user for confirmation before deleting a file or a whole directory. The script must perform reasonable argument validation.
I tried to read the list of files and directories in a string but it is pretty hard to split the string based on space and put them in an array and then check them one by one and delete them. Also I was thinking to run a while loop to ask user to enter the name of file and then delete it and again repeat the job but it is not a nice way.
would you give me some clue?

SADE(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SADE(8)NAME
sade -- sysadmins disk editor
SYNOPSIS
sade
DESCRIPTION
The sade utility is used for various disk administration tasks on FreeBSD systems.
It is generally invoked without arguments for the default behavior, where the main menu is presented.
NOTES
The sade utility aims to provide a handy tool for disk management tasks on an already installed system. The goal is to provide the same text
interface for disk management in bsdinstall(8) in the post-installation environment.
SEE ALSO bsdinstall(8), gpart(8)HISTORY
A program called sade first appeared in FreeBSD 6.3 as a utility encapsulating features from the sysinstall(8) installer. It was replaced in
FreeBSD 10.0 with the equivalent part of bsdinstall(8).
AUTHORS
Nathan Whitehorn <nwhitehorn@FreeBSD.org>
BUGS
The utility misses a lot of nice features, such as tools for manipulating gmirror(8). These will be added later.
