>>I don;t see how the input file relates to the pdf files? >>Which part of the pdf file does the input numbers refer to? Kent, I believe the text file contains the name of the text files the author wants to copy The problem with the Windows console commands is I don't believe they have the ability to read files for input. Que Here is some code that should get you started. I don't see the name of the destination directory in your email, so you will have to edit the variable 'destpath' in the code below Indenting is likely to get changed during posting, so be aware of that. import shutil import os sourceDir='' for line in open('input.txt'): if not sourceDir and ':' in line: sourceDir = line[line.find(':')-1:] if 'pdf' in line.lower(): filename = line.split(' ')[-1] sourcePath = os.path.join(sourceDir, filename) shutil.copyfile(sourcePath, destPath) print'\nCopying %s' % sourcePath print'\nCopy done'
