Deleting Unwanted Files
 
I have a list of file names that I want to keep. The directory has 3119
files total.

How do I loop thru the directory and kill the files not in my list?

Deleting Unwanted Files
 
Make a new (dummy) directory (lets refer to this as "new directory")
copy all the files to new directory
clear the original directory
Move back using your list
remove the new directory
