Looping inside directories based on a file which contains file directory list

Hi All,

Please help.
I have got a file which contains a listing of a file and some directories after it, one by one. I am calling this file xyz.txt here
Code:
file1
dir1
dir2
dir3
dir4
file2
dir5
dir6
dir7
dir8
file3
dir9
dir10
dir11
dir12

Requirement is that I have to pick the files one by one from xyz.txt file i.e. file1 then file2 then file3 ... for file1 I have to go inside directories listed below file1 i.e. dir1, dir2,dir3, dir4. for file2 I have to go inside directories listed below file2 i.e. dir5,dir6, dir7, dir8. means like a loop. Actually, inside these directories there are some log files. i have to search for a pattern (some records)from these log files and grep these records from the files mentioned in the file xyz.txt ( this part looks easy and i can try for it).
Only thing is I am not able to loop through file xyz.txt

thanks.

NAME
nfanon - netflow anonymisation SYNOPSIS
nfanon [options] DESCRIPTION
nfanon is used to anonymise all IP addresses ( src, dst, next hop, router IP etc. ) in the netflow records using the CryptoPAn (Cryptogra- phy-based Prefix-preserving Anonymization) module. The key -K is used to initialize the Rijndael cipher. The key is either a 32 character string, or a 64 hex digit string starting with 0x. See http://www.cc.gatech.edu/computing/Telecomm/cryptopan/ for more information about CryptoPAn. nfanon has several modes of operation. o nfanon reads a sequence of input files, specified by -r, -R and -M and anonymises the flows in the given files. The input file arguments have the same syntax and meaning as nfdump(1). o nfanon reads a sequence of input files, specified by -r, -R and -M. All anonymised flows are written to a single file specified by -w. o nfanon works as filter and reads flows from stding and writes the anonymised flows to stdout. OPTIONS
-r inputfile Read input data from inputfile. Default is read from stdin. -R expr Read input from a sequence of files in the same directory. expr may be one of: /any/dir Read recursively all files in directory dir. /dir/file Read all files beginning with file. /dir/file1:file2 Read all files from file1 to file2. Note: files are read in alphabetical sequence. -M expr Read input from multiple directories. expr looks like: /any/path/to/dir1:dir2:dir3 etc. and will be expanded to the directories: /any/path/to/dir1, /any/path/to/dir2 and /any/path/to/dir3 Any number of colon separated directories may be given. The files to read are specified by -r or -R and are expected to exist in all the given directories. The options -r and -R must not contain any directory part when used in conjunction with -M. -w outputfile If specified writes anonymised netflow records to outputfile. -K key The key is used to initialize the Rijndael cipher. key is either a 32 character string, or a 64 hex digit string starting with 0x. RETURN VALUE
Returns 0 No error. 255 Initialization failed. 250 Internal error. NOTES
None. SEE ALSO
