kmanivan82,
To use RudiC's 2nd suggestion, try:
Code:
awk '{print $1".tmp"}' file_list.txt | xargs -n8 echo rm -f

* remove echo once you have tested.

RudiC,
It doesn't appear your 1st suggestion will process the last 3 records/file names from input file if total number of records/file names on file are not evenly divisible by 3.
