| Sep 20, 2015 at 2:34 | comment | added | cas | that's why i wrote it - glad you learned something useful. BTW, just like your original script, the lines in 'remove.txt' are treated as regular expressions not as literal text....so you have to be careful if they contain regexp special characters like | or * or . etc. use \ to escape them in 'remove.txt' if you want them to be literals. | |

| Sep 20, 2015 at 2:27 | comment | added | Brian Fitzpatrick | Ahh... This was what I set out to do but honestly I don't have enough perl knowledge to write this myself. This really helps me learn so thanks! | |
| Sep 20, 2015 at 2:26 | comment | added | cas | BTW, if you want to be able to have (and ignore) '#' comments in 'remove.txt', add s/#.*//; immediately after the chomp; line. | |
