Copy files from file

Hello, new to Hazel.

Suppose I have inside a folder a special file name ZIP.txt.
This file contains a list of file names I need to archive, that are inside the enclosing folder in any sub-folder depth, .
So far I managed to do it by running an external python script. Is there any other elegant and straightforward way to do it in Hazel?


Thanks

There's no built-in way to have Hazel read a text file and operate on it. A script will be required regardless. Also, the Archive action does not have a way to selectively choose which files go into it should you choose to archive a folder.
