If you want this to done automatically then insert above commands in "your own rm" file [ make sure your PATH goes first to YOUR rm instead of standard UNIX rm ]
The code needs to be MUCH more complex than this if you're going to create your own rm utility from end. If you create $HOME/bin/rm containing:
Code:
/bin/rm "$1" && grep -v "$1" /absolute/path/to/text.file >/absolute/path/to/text1.file &&
mv /absolute/path/to/text1.file /absolute/path/ttext.file

then the command sequence:
Code:
touch /tmp/world
cd /tmp
rm world

will remove every entry from your sample text.file.

MD5SUM(1)                                                          User Commands                                                         MD5SUM(1)

NAME

       md5sum - compute and check MD5 message digest

SYNOPSIS

       md5sum [OPTION]... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION

       Print or check MD5 (128-bit) checksums.

       With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

       -b, --binary
              read in binary mode

       -c, --check
              read MD5 sums from the FILEs and check them

       --tag  create a BSD-style checksum

       -t, --text
              read in text mode (default)

   The following five options are useful only when verifying checksums:
       --ignore-missing
              don't fail or report status for missing files

       --quiet
              don't print OK for each successfully verified file

       --status
              don't output anything, status code shows success

       --strict
              exit non-zero for improperly formatted checksum lines

       -w, --warn
              warn about improperly formatted checksum lines

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
              output version information and exit

       The  sums  are computed as described in RFC 1321.  When checking, the input should be a former output of this program.  The default mode is
       to print a line with checksum, a space, a character indicating input mode ('*' for binary, ' ' for text or where binary is  insignificant),
       and name for each FILE.

BUGS

       Do  not  use  the  MD5 algorithm for security related purposes.  Instead, use an SHA-2 algorithm, implemented in the programs sha224sum(1),
       sha256sum(1), sha384sum(1), sha512sum(1), or the BLAKE2 algorithm, implemented in b2sum(1)
