how to delete files of within folders with same name as files based upon a list of files

[goodywp]

I had two tasks as below:

.../app/ (under this folder, there are hundreds of files, some are matching the files listed in applist.txt)
.../comp/ (under this folder there are hundreds of subfolders, their names are exactly same as file names under this subfolders, some subfolders are matching the names as listed in applist.txt)

1) delete all files listed in applist.txt within app folder

I have the following code to delete:

Code: Select all

for /f %%i in (applist.txt) do del %%i

2) under folder of comp, there are some subfolders which names are exactly same as files listed in applist.txt, under this subfolder, there is only one file in it with the same name. Now I try to delete this file under this subfolder based upon the above list applist.txt and keep the subfolder

here is the applist.txt

1240047901010300_cfgCustom.P3P
1240000272010200_CoreProxy.P3A
8295431004_Dialog.P3L

2) under folder of comp, there are some subfolders which names are exactly same as files listed in applist.txt

Does "exactly same" mean that the subfolder's name is e.g. "1240047901010300_cfgCustom.P3P" or is it rather "1240047901010300_cfgCustom"?

1240047901010300_cfgCustom.P3P instead of 1240047901010300_cfgCustom

If the list and the script are in the parent folder of app and comp this should work.

Code: Select all

@echo off & setlocal
for /f "tokens=*" %%i in ('type "applist.txt"') do (
  del "app\%%i"
  del "comp\%%i\%%i"
)
