Ok, using fdupes -f I have created a file that contains a list of all

Or since I know that fdupes -f works, could I just do something like:
fdupes -f ./ | rm *
or would that rm everything?
read
man fdupes
note the -d option
No actually the -d option is not an option. The reason is is because it
then asks you after all found duplicates, which of them you wish to
keep. Well, I have some 5000 duplicates to go through, so it will take
forever. I would rather think of a way to use the output of fdupes or
the file I created to delete all the duplicates.
I'm trying to remember how the correct way would be to do something like:
fdupes -f ./ | rm %[?]
it seems like that would be more right. But god, I've forgotten how to
script.
Thanks for any help, though.
