Lets say I have list 1, that has the following names:
1.com
2.com
3.com
4.com
5.com

and I enter a list of names to be removed, lets say I enter these:
1.com
2.com

Then the program will remove 1.com and 2.com, then list 1 will now only have:
3.com
4.com
5.com

Interesting question. To add another one...there is a way/software to make a list of words from a text?

ColdGin, I think you can bulk replace "space" with ".com", then use any domain list cleaner , and clean the list. Bingo!

Install Cygwin Linux on your Windows machine from www.cygwin.com

Then you can use a handy one-liner on the command line:

comm -1 -3 file1 file2 >file3

file3 will contain the difference.

More on the 'comm' utility here:

If you want to make a list of domains out of plain words, then a good text editor should do it, like www.editplus.com.

Or, as mentioned above, get Cygwin and use another one-liner:

awk '{print$1".com"}' infile >outfile

Yes it's a quirky installation interface. Just download the bash shell and drill down to include awk, grep and comm if they're not already in the package.

In fact, you should really download it all but you can leave out the X stuff which makes it a LOT smaller.
