I have a list of folder in .txt format. I want to copy those folder from one directory to another
I have a list of folder names in .txt file. I want the code to pick a name from text file, enter that folder and a subfolder and copy a file and paste it to another directory and also add folder name in front of the file name.
For an example I have folder name A, B, C and they have sub-folder name X, Y, Z respectively. I want the code to enter A folder and then sub-folder X and then copy a file name '1' and paste it another folder and also add folder name to file i.e., 'A1'
