Is it possible to iterate through a file?

What I want to do is, I've got a large collection of image files:
$ wc gallery-pix
37448 62619 3218967 gallery-pix

and what I'd like to do is look at each of the 37488 image files on
some kind of page, with buttons like "Keep", "Skip", and "Quit",
so I can page through all of these images, which are strewn all
over the Samba server, and decide which ones might look good on
the website.

So, is it possible to do something like (in pseudocode):

for each $line in <file> {
show webpage with <img> tag, and the three buttons;
get button response, decide what to do with file;
if button == "Quit", save place in source file;
next;

or so?

Thanks,
Rich
