How to Delete Files from the Specified List (Batch Script)

There is quite a common task for batch file programming which is called 'Deleting Files from Specified List'. It is not hard to perform this operation. Here is a small batch script that may help you with this task:

SET LstName=
FOR /F %%i in ('type %LstName%') do DEL %%i
PAUSE

The only thing you need to do is specifying your own files list. What is this list? It is is simple text file with one name of file to be removed per one line. For example:

c:\Temp\*.*

d:\Dir\Data1.tmp

e:\Work\Temp\*.dat

etc.

We kindly remind that Dr.Batcher is the best program to create batch file, both .BAT and .CMD, try it if haven't tried it yet.
