restoring file to its default location...

Hello everyone,
I am new to unix shell.

I have a file called Path.txt....and i have data in that as

1 abhi
2 avi
3 ash so on.....

1 ,2 ,3 is the index.....

my concern is user will give me input as

restore 1

then i have to restore abhi file to its default location..
if restore 2
then again same thing....

user can give restore 1 2 3
in this case all three files are suppose to get restored to the
default location.

what i am doing is

using for loop

fname=`grep -w "^$index" $HOME/UnixCw/backup/Path.txt`
echo "FILE: $fname"

in FILE if user said restore 11 then FILE will contain

11 filename

now i want to restore the filename

i think i have to take this file name in some variable.
and by using mv i can restore..but i am not sure about how i
can do this...please help me out
