If I understand correctly, you have a text file containing the names of
other files, one per line, and you want to perform actions on those other
files. Further, it appears that the other files are in the same folder
as the text file.
If that's correct, you really don't need to use the text file.
set currFolder to "Rachel:Project:Dreams:"
set the fileList to the files of the currFolder
repeat with FileToProcess in the fileList
tell application "Tex-Edit Plus"
open the FileToProcess as alias
open (currFolder & (line i of window 1))
--do scripts
close front window saving yes
end tell
end repeat
