Using list from text file to create folder, search, and copy

Hi All,

I'm looking to automate the task of searching for specific files on my startup disk, create a new folder, then copy the files found to the new folder.

Ideally, I'd like to create a text document that would read:

--New Folder Name
group 1

--Files to search for and then copy
03432.jpg
593828.jpg
00435.jpg
info.txt
image1.tiff

There are many parts to creating this that I don't quite understand, starting with the idea of reading and then assigning variables from values contained in the aforementioned text document. There would be one folder per batch and there would not be a set # of files to be copied- that will vary.

Any ideas and help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

--Christopher
