I am trying to find a way to get a list of files that I have in a Text Document process within Hazel.

I have a list of damage files (4989), which have been listed in a Text List (see below) and want to be able to move this into a folder away from my Main Photo Folder. is there a way Hazel could read through this list, pick each file and move it to a Folder?

The files appear to be unsupported or damaged. (4909)

You'd need to write a shellscript or AppleScript to handle this.

You might be able to do something tricky if the document containing the document list is in the same folder as the files to be moved. It would involve use of nested conditions.
