Delete files except the file names available in the Except File

Hi,

I need some help in the below scenario.

I need to delete all the files from the directory except the file name available in the Except file.

Like the folder ABC have files like A1.txt,A2.txt......A10.txt
and also have a file named Except.txt with the content A3.txt,A4.txt

Need a unix command to delete all the files from the folder ABC except the files A3.txt,A4.txt looking up on the Except.txt file.

Thanks for the response.
