shell script that deletes files found in a list

[blackbox111]

I am writing a script which will need to read a list congaing files and directories, and delete them. Any advice?

I'm actually stuck on the first step, how do I read a list? I can choose the deliminator the list will use, so probably comma (,)

if you use newline \n as the list delimiter--

/dir1/file1
/dir2/file2

like that, then something like this should work

for i in `cat list`
do
rm $i
done

change IFS to cater for files with spaces when using for loop and cat like that, otherwise, just use while read loop

while read -r line
do
   rm -i "$line"
done < "file"
