The source file I'm working on is ~20,000 lines or so and all the source files will be about the same size. There is a "junk file" text file which contains strings that need to be removed from the source file. Each "junk" string is on it's own line and there will be quite a few of these (over 40 different strings of junk). Example of the junk file which contains phrases that have to be removed from the source file

There will be dozens more than this but these three lines have to be slurped and removed from another text file. The main issue here is speed because if this junk file contains 40+ different strings and it has to remove as many occurences as it can for each of these in a 20k line file, it could take a while, right?

In short, I need to read from junk.txt and be able to use each line as a new substitution to remove them from source.txt

Thank you wise monks.
