Hi Marshall,

Thanks! That does work! With the help of my co-worker, we refined it a little more by including white spaces in search.

Thank you all who have helped me with my problem.

Below is what we came up with.

#!\perl\bin\perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $files = "C:/Directory";
my $list = "C:/Test.sdf";

open my $name, '<', $list or die "Failed to open file: $!\n";

my @files = $files;
opendir(OUTPUT, $files);
  @files = grep {$_ ne '.' and $_ ne '..'} readdir(OUTPUT);
closedir(OUTPUT);

my %wanted_files;

while (<$name>) {
  if ($_ =~ /^\s*fullpath=.*[\\\/](\w+\.nfo)"/) {
    $wanted_files{$1} = 1;
  }
}

foreach my $target_file (@files) {
  if (not $wanted_files{$target_file}) {
    unlink($files . "/" . $target_file) or die $!;
  }
}
