Windows 10: Copying files from a folder using filenames from a text file

I have a folder that contains approx. 17,000 images, I want to copy only those images, whose filenames are listed in a text file. The text file contains approx. 1000 file names.

Is there a command that I can use on cmd or power shell to automate this process? Otherwise I will have to manually go through all those 17,000 files and copy the ones that are listed in text file which seems impossible

:)

You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one

Issue was the above, so thanks temp02.

 

How to copy a list of file names in a folder to text file?


Hi.
Below link shows a method to do that, but its probably for older versions of windows.
How to Copy a List of Files in a Windows Folder Into an Excel List | Chron.com

In windows 10, when I Shift+right click on a folder to open the Powershell window and type dir /b > dirlist.txt to generate a text file of filenames in the folder, this command is returned as invalid.

Would be grateful for any help.
Regards.
