Hi,
I have the filenames of few files in a file(filenames.txt). The actual files are in one directory(Source). What I need to do is, check for the files in the filename.txt. If those files are present in that directory(Source), move them to another directory(Target).
Something like:
if filename exists in filename.txt
then mv Souredir/filename Targetdir.
Can anyone please help me in achieving this.
Thanks,
Anil

I got the solution nails. Thanks.
I'm getting each filename from the filenames file and moving it one at a time using a while loop.
