I am still lost as why you would want the extra load no matter how small of piping a second command when -f is built in. This is like folks doing `cat file.txt | grep -i term` rather then `grep -i term file.txt`
Yeah, that looks better. < would redirect the contents of a file. Pipe is for a command.

yes | rm -i *txt
seems to be the proper syntax.
[root@localhost yestest]# rm -i file.* < yes
-bash: yes: No such file or directory
