Welcome to the site. While your approach will work if the names on the list mentioned by the OP are the result of a simple pattern matching - which may very well be the case - please note that the OP stated that the filenames to exclude are stored in a specific file; you may want to expand your answer so as to read the exclusion patterns from that file instead of relying on one static pattern, or having to type-copy potentially multiple patterns to the console.
