Batch Delete Files From File On Cmd Line

Question

I have a long list of file names in a txt file, which I generated using

findstr /M "string here" *.* > c:\files.log

The file is about 3mb. Now i want to delete all of those files. I tried del < c:\\files.log but that doesn't work. What should I use?

Answer 1

Batch for NT on up supports a FOR loop with special switches

FOR /F seems to fit what you want as it allows input from a file and positional delimiters.

See .. http://ss64.com/nt/for_f.html

You are looking for something like...

for /F "tokens=*" %%a in (files.log) DO DELETE "%%a"

Answer 2

这应该工作：

for /f "tokens=1*" %a in (filelist.txt) do del %a

Answer 3

如果您安装Cygwin或类似的东西，它只是：

cat files.log | xargs rm

Answer 4

对于cmd，批处理文件％a中必须包含%% a而不是％a
