.bat script question

[juggernaut911]

Okay so I'm creating a script that will delete file names that are listed in a file called contents.txt

Contents.txt

a.as
b.as
[.code]

I want the script to delete the file name of Contents.txt so this would happen:

folder\a.as
folder\b.as
folder\contents.txt

to end up as:

folder\contents.txt

which I will have deleted after it is parsed.

Please help! URGENT!

This example below is no recursive, means only for single folder, and require grep. Better methods will be welcomed.

OK, grab Binaries and Dependencies of "grep" from HERE and extract it somewhere you like, in this example it's in C:\GREP\

Contents.bat

SET PATH=C:\GREP\
FOR /f %%A IN ('grep -9999 a Contents.txt') DO del %%AWTF! Only one line except path?!?!?!?

Contents.txt

a.txt
b.txt
Target dir. - Before

a.txt
b.txt
c.txt
d.txt
Contents.bat
Contents.txt

run "Contents.bat"

Target dir. - After
QUOTE

c.txt
d.txt
Contents.bat
Contents.txt

Voila!
