======================================================================================

The current folder structure is

-->test
-->scripts_folder
-->Libs
-->Libs2
-->Libs3
-->test1

test.pl C:\test\scripts_folder\

1. Delete all the files in the scripts_folder directory except the one's in the above log file starting with --c- --a-- --m--

2. Ignore lines starting with --d--

3. Do not error out if the file matching above criteria is already deleted or doesnt exist in the scripts_folder
directory.

For now I have :

cat required.txt | grep -e --a- -e --m-- -e ---c-
--a-- \Libs\test1\test1\test1.txt
--m-- \Libs\test1\test1\test11.txt
---c- \Libs\Libs\test2\test2\test22.txt
---c- \Libs\Libs\test2\test2\test2.txt
---c- \Libs\Libs\test3\test33.txt

ozo

Is required.txt in the scripts_folder directory?
If not, how should the script find it?
If so, should it also be deleted?

@Ozo: The required.txt is in the scripts_folder directory.
This file should not be deleted.
