You could make a filter in the advanced find.

Name equal aaaaaaaa.asd
OR
Name equal ghfdgdf.gty
OR
...

Is this a one-off operation or something you need to do often with different file lists?

The filters are defined in simple XML files so, if you're familiar with text editor macros, it's easy to convert a list of filenames into a list of filter clauses. If you PM me the file list I will turn it into a filter for you and send it back.
