bash script help needed

[PingPing]

I'm new bash scripting and need some advice.
I'm working on a remaster script that downloads a tce, extracts it and then consults a file ('remove_file_list') and removes files listed in that list.
The current script snippet is:

Code: [Select]

for FILE in `cat ../remove_file_list`
do
        rm -rf $FILE
doneI now want to amend the script so that I can insert comment lines (ie. all beginning with #) in remove_file_list and these lines will be ignored by the above script.

How do I do this?

[curaga]

`cat ../remove_file_list | grep -v '^#'`

Duh!  **bangs head against wall**.
Thanks.
