Re: Removing files listed in another file

I'm not sure I'd want to unlink the contents of a packlist blindly...but, for the same # of chars this seems a little clearer:

perl -ne 'chomp;unlink' < file;rm file

You don't even need the chomp there, the -l will do it (only with -n or -p). `% perl -lne 'unlink' < file` Good for removing only the the list (not the container) Thanks. s::a::n	[reply] [d/l]
