Post Shell Syntax Error when copying files

Hello,
I apologize if this was addressed in a previous post. I have done some searching but may have missed it. I am trying to read a list from a file, for example:


Code:
3bik
3bix
3biu
3bin
1nwn

and using this list, copy files with these names (ex: 3bik.dssp.Z) to a seperate folder, named Subset. [Kindly note that all files have the same .dssp.Z extension, they only differ in the names!]

I have written this code below but keep getting syntax errors...could you kindly tell me what I am doing wrong? I am new to scripting and I apologize in advance for any silly errors!
The code:


Code:
 
#!/bin/bash
cat file.txt | while read Line;
do
cp $Line.dssp.Z /Subset
done

I have saved this as Test.sh
My understanding now is that I simply call:
bash Test.sh
in the commandline (MacOs by the way)

Please correct me if I'm wrong, and let me know if the logic of the code is correct also.
Many thanks,
InfoSeeker
