I have been trying to use rpm or dnf to remove some rpms. Most the
ones I am concerned with are docker related, and or to do with go
(golang). You certainly can't use wildcards with rpm erase. I have a
list generated with the date these rpms were installed, but I am not
THAT good with CLI and bash operations like cut, xargs, sed and so on
to alter the list; and I wouldn't be sure how to pipe the list
contents or redirect to rpm the text's content from the ascii text
file, to erase these particular rpms. Is there a way to mass erase
many files (with rpm switches or such) using rpm? Here is an example
of what I have been trying to do, ex:
list.txt,
gcc-devel // example,
python-devel //example
rpm -e // would this list content be redirectable to rpm -e ?
cat list.txt
lists rpms,
rpm -e < cat list, or
cat list | rpm -e
do not work.

Write your list so that all the packages are on a single line, and just
add rpm -e to the head of that line:
rpm -e foo bar baz
Or:
for i in `cat list`; do rpm -e $i
I would honestly probably use yum for this, though, since it takes care
of dependencies and the like.
So if your list of packages is:
foo bar baz
I would just add "yum remove" to the beginning of the list:
yum -y remove foo bar baz
