Thanks to all who emailed me the solution to this problem! For the
benefit of anyone who might be curious, here's one answer:
ninstall -h $1 -vvvvv -p $2 | grep path | cut -d " " -f4 | xargs rm
^^^^^^^^^^
The xargs utility passes the input lines to the rm command as
parameters--just what I was after. Thanks again!
