Copy contents of a file script 1

[UsRb]

Hi 2 everyone

I am trying to make a script that goes like this:

ls directory >> 1.log
ls directory1 >> 2.log
diff -e 1.log 2.log >3.log

Now, the content of 3.log is a list of files
I want that files to copy from one directory to another. How?
Thanx in advance....

A starting point:
while read f
do cp "/path/to/srcdir/$f" "/path/to/destdir/$f"
done < /path/to/listoffiles

Hope This Helps, PH.
