Hey it works just added /root infront of the /dustbin at points :)

Thanks much ;)

Yes I tried it with slash at end and also other code, other code tries to remove them from /root/helloworld instead of /dustbin/helloworld for the rm -i part.

I am trying to do the command - but when I do this ultimately no files are deleted from my list - my sed command simply makes the removedFiles.txt be blank which is not my goal, but rather for it to...

The problem with doing that is that it tries to delete them from


/root/helloworld instead of /dustbin/helloworld

they just are
"/root/hello
/root/helloworld"

in FileLocations.txt.

ls | grep -vf - /root/dustbin.ini | sed 's/.*/^&$/' > removed.txt

ls | grep -vf - /root/dustbin.ini | sed 's/.*/^&$/g' > removed.txt

hello
hellothere

Now got this working perfectly, thanks a bunch!

Thank you very much for your help, it now works perfectly. :) :b:


EDIT: Changed a few things to fix the couple of errors but thanks a lot for your help once again.

Hey, thanks again, it almost works now just there is a problem that when it prompts the rm -i, there is no chance for input it just displays for all the files

rm:remove regular file `file.txt`?...

Hi, thanks for the post, I sort of understand what it is supposed to do but when it tries to do the rm -i it is doing it on simply say *file* instead of /root/dustbin/file, trying to mess about with...

Hi, I am trying to make a command to delete my files out the trash can, but one at a time.

I am currently using rm - i to do this, but the original file locations for restoring my files are heard...
