read parameters from file

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi there,
I'm wondering how I can run a script that would loop and launch a command that would take as parameter every line in a file one by one.
For example, say I want to remove a list of files:

~$ cat filestoremove
foo
bar
~$ cat myscript
for file in filestoremove; do
    rm $file
done

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Instead, it remove the file that contains the list of file to remove.
Can you help me with that?
Thanks in advance
Santiago

Should be:

while read file
do
  rm "$file"
done < filestoremove
