Move files with filenames contained in .txt list?

[orthicon]

Hi all,

I'm pulling my hair out. I have a folder with hundreds of .TIF files; the filenames are the last names of people contained in the TIF graphic. On varying days I want to copy only specific files from that folder based on a text list.

Is there an easy way for Hazel to reference a text list from a text file and copy a file by filename (not tag) that contains words from the text list into another folder?

Thanks,
Brad

That seems like specialized logic so you'd need a script to do that. Otherwise, if there's some other pattern in the filenames you can exploit (like maybe some punctuation after the name), then you can use a match pattern to handle all of those.

Thanks.

I'll try the scripting route.
