So, you've got a text file with addresses to be deleted? Hmm, that's not too
hard to manage. I suppose that on each line, there is one email address and
only that address? With PHP, i'd do something like:
<?php
echo "<pre>";
mysql_connect("host", "user", "pass");
mysql_select_db("database");
$textfile = file('directory/otherDirectory/remove.txt');
$i = 0;
foreach($textfile as $mail) {
$i ++;
$mail = trim($mail);
if (mysql_query("DELETE FROM churchmail WHERE email = '$mail'")) {
echo "[$i] [$mail] deleted\n";
} else {
echo "[$i] [$mail] ERROR: ".mysql_error()."\n";
};
};
echo "</pre>";
?>
this script should do it, as long as you point to the correct file, you have
PHP installed and the file contains one email address per line, no more than
one and nothing else than that one email address (spaces are removed with
trim()).
Let us know if you're helped now !

Not surprisingly, I'm still confused. Could you hold my hand?
Here's what I've got --
This is my table --
CREATE TABLE churchmail (
email varchar(30) NOT NULL
);
It has one field containing 40,000 email addresses.
I have a text file -- remove.txt, which contains 1,500 email addresses
which need to be removed from the churchmail table. The database is
named midtn. I think it's the two WHERE clauses that are throwing me.
Whatever it is, I remain stuck, and would appreciate assistance. I'd
like to do this on the command line, no PHP.
Thanks,
Robert
