using "del" to delete a list of filenames in a text file?

[bledd]

ok, i've got the folder..

C:\test\

in there it has
1.txt
2.txt
3.txt
4.txt
5.txt
~
1000.txt

some contain the word 'bledd' and I want to delete them.


i've used findstr like this..

findstr /I /S /M bledd *.* >c:\output.txt

that created output.txt, and in that file it says..

1.txt
5.txt
680.txt
999.txt

in the same bat file, how can I get it to delete all the files listed in output.txt?


my 'ghetto' way of pasting the contents into column b in excel, then filling a with del /q and pasting it all back into notepad just won't do this time

Click search button while in the folder containing the files, enter you search phrase in 'A word or phrase in the file:'. Now click search, when search is finished CTRL+A then hit delete, job done...

I should've said, it's thousands of files, explorer can't open it

sorted now
