@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for /F "tokens=*" %%a in (Result.txt) do (
  set row=%%a
  set num=
  for /L %%j in (0 1 10) do (
    if "!row:~%%j,1!" neq "0" if not defined num set num=!row:~%%j!
  ) 
  if exist "C:\input\!num!.mpg" copy "C:\input\!num!.mpg" "C:\output" > nul
)
pause

Please, try to post in a more correct English since what you wish looks quite confusing.
