I need to write a bash script that will consider which files in .config/xfce4/panel/launcher-*/*.desktop don't contain one of the following lines:

Code:
Name=Mozilla Firefox
Name=Qalculate!
Name=Thunar File Manager

and remove a corresponding section of .config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml like this:

Code:
<property name="plugin-xx" type="string" value="launcher">
    <property name="items" type="array">
        <value type="string" value="SPECIALNUMBER.desktop"/>
    </property>
    <property name="disable-tooltips" type="bool" value="false"/>
</property>

where SPECIALNUMBER is equal to the wildcard portion of *.desktop from above. How can I do this?

Nevermind, I'm just going to write out new files instead.
