I am not sure if I understood what you want to achieve. Anyway here is an example.
Given your list A.txt that contains the search patterns:
Code:
subdir2
subdir4

and some directory structure on disk like:
Code:
subdir1
subdir2
subdir3
subdir4
subdir5
subdir6
...

and lot's of stuff you don't want, you could try like:
Code:
find /entry/dir -type d -name "subdir*" | grep -f A.txt

ZGREP(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  ZGREP(1)

NAME
zgrep, zegrep, zfgrep -- print lines matching a pattern in gzip-compressed files SYNOPSIS
zgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...] zegrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...] zfgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...] DESCRIPTION
zgrep runs grep(1) on files or stdin, if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with zcat(1). The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep(1). If an -e flag is found in the grep-flags, zgrep will not look for a pattern argument. zegrep calls egrep(1), while zfgrep calls fgrep(1). EXIT STATUS
In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0. SEE ALSO
egrep(1), fgrep(1), grep(1), gzip(1), zcat(1) AUTHORS
