Question processing line in file

Hi

I amtrying to read the lines from a file, these lines are absolute paths in the system. I want to check if these paths exists, if they doesn't I want to create that path and put a file in that location/path.

I had no trouble filtering these paths out using awk, grep, uniq etc but when it comes to write my own lite script that should process these lines I am clueless. I have been reading up awk but it seems a litle complicated, am I gooing in the right direction, what is the easiest way to solve this, what tools should I use?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
